In the current reporting period we finished Task 1, Task 2 and Task 3. So, regarding to Task 1, we developed a concept for integration of sensor-system and the KUKA LWR wherein we have focused on communication and software interfaces. We have described a concept of an experimental technical framework, analyzed available...

The main work done within the last pariod (October-November) to the extension of the teleoperation framework to the scenario of wall-following. The UAV should be operated laterally along a wall with constant distance and orientation to it at a constant altitude. In this scheme, the movement along the wall is controlled in...

During April-May 2013, initial integration of the US system and Robotic system was performed. We received the latest version of the KUKA LWR, and are arranging to send the previous one back for replacement/repairs. After setting up the new robot, tests were performed on an artificial bone as seen in the photo. The 2D US probe...

This proposal is to carry out the application study in experiment of using dexterous robot hands for deboning operation which is laborious and less safe for human operators as a pioneering study of establishing a hyper-flexible work cell for cutting, deboning and muscle extraction operation in meat industry. The proposed...
