In these months ASTROMOBILE progressed in: Task1 integrating three WSNs for the localization, Task2 progressing the navigation thanks to the use of robot odometry, Task3 refining ASTRO video and speech interfaces in relations to the project scenarios and tests, and Task4 integrating all current solutions of Task 1, Task 2 and...

FREE addresses the sector of small batch assembly where manual work is still the main manufacturing option since the automated systems are costly and requiring expert staff. The target experiment is the gas metal arc welding in which the robot has to be trained by the observation of a human operator. A Superior Hierarchical...

The remote hardware controlled safety system is tested successfully on the tractor in a hardware in the loop setting. The tractor control unit software is now being prepared for running on the real-time controllers that control the machines. All necessary outputs are interfaced. Some inputs have to be interfaced via CAN. To...

Technical problems related to the integration of the arm with the mobile base do not finish! The arm lost its reference position and performed movements totally not coherent with the desired trajectories with strange mechanical noises. We called again technical assistance and they repaired the arm. The rest position is now...

This period, the team was able to integrate and finish the scan-data based prototype. The accuracy and registration of the two sensors, the KINECT sensor and the laser scanner was very satisfying, as is visible on the video. The only issue that will stay due to the chosen hardware is the inaccuracy of the laser scanner...

We will develop a novel user interface for aerial robotic systems to enable the operation of a UAV by untrained pilots in industrial or constrained environments. A force feedback joystick actuator will be used to provide the operator with a haptic control interface for the system. This will allow the operator to feel...
