In the last reporting period we have finished our first complete demo.

In this demo, which will be visible under youtube, the user first specifies that the robot should do a feeding task.

Then, the human specifies the necessary parameters through gestures: the human operator points at the SLCs containing the parts for the feeding task. At this point, the robot actually grasps the corresponding SLC. Then, the human shows the robot the feeder into which these parts should go. Finally, the robot empties the SLC into the right feeder.

Once the library of different task programs is provided, the robot can be use for different tasks without difficult re-programing.

Even though the present demo was tested so far only in the lab, most of the components of the system have already been tested at Grundfos in the real scenario. The only system component that was not tested so far is the Kinect-based human-robot interaction. Given that the Kinect is a well-tested Microsoft product, we do not expect any difficulties when finally testing the system on the shop floor.
