A new Manual Guidance Device based will be developed for robot programming, to enhance toolpath definition accuracy and system usability. To be compliant to safety requirements a mix of software and hardware solutions will be implemented to achieve redundant control of robot speed/position in the working area. The working...

DFKI has implemented the stereo-vision algorithms on Nao. Thanks to a drastic optimization of the software, they have been able to reduce the computation time by a factor of 25 in the estimation of a 3D position of the object that can be computed in 5,5ms. The grasping algorithm previously working with a laser sensor is now...

1st Public Report The setup of the modular robot system has been distinguished in cooperation with the robot manufacturer. To validate that the robot can fulfill the planed task to hold surgical bone levers a model of the experiment setup was created. Further, suitable Force-Torque-Sensors and the power supplies were...

The first reconfiguration procedure of the passive gripping kinematic with force torque control was realized with the KUKA robot and the RSI interface: The inertial straight line path in y-direction of the robot could be automatically adapted to a force/torque controlled circular movement (see figure 1). The measured forces...

Project C-Kompai Fourth ECHORD public summary. Month of January In these two months of development of the project (December 2011 and January 2012), the low-level modules provided by Robosoft to control the hardware of the Kompai (mainly motors and sensors) have been successfully integrated into the Cognitive Brain structure...

In the end of March the project participants had a meeting at the Fraunhofer IFF in Magdeburg to present the current state of the experiment. Here, we implemented a simple pick and place scenario to demonstrate the functionality of the overall system under operating conditions. Concerning Task 6, the focus was on...

The implementation and verification of the experiment continues, using the special designed spring and mass system. In this way the vibrating mass can be fixed to the hexapod in different angles and at different positions. Finally at end of experiment different vibrating masses, positioned at different positions should be...

The secondary arm was succesfully added to the experiment setup. Some new hardware components were designed to make the desired mechanical connection between both robot arms and the gripper. The robot controllers were integrated in the iTaSC software framework to be able to easily synchronize the combined movement....

Current activities are focussed on the preparation of the selected MAV (Skybotix FlyboXTM) for the REMAV experiment. A new instance of the VSS optical-flow based speed and position sensor suited for REMAV is in the specification phase and is planned to be available this summer. FlyboXTM is being complemented with a...
