In December we have finished our demo: A human operator is able to tell a robot what object to take by simply pointing at it from some distance. The video of that demo is available under YouTube http://youtu.be/H6kX494AsaE. For this demo, we have included a completely automatic calibration procedure that calibrates the robot...

The PRADA experiment aims at improving the performances of high speed parallel robots in order to address new market shares when accuracy along complex paths is needed. The first step has consisted in deriving efficient dynamics models that can be computed in real-time while being accurate enough. The models for the two...

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...

During this monitoring period, the research activities carried out within the HUROBIN experiment have focused on (1) the implementation of software solutions for controlling the robotic platform at low level and (2) the validation tests for collecting data from the force/torque sensor positioned at the robot’s end-effector. ...

For learning object models, a board that allows for scanning of multiple object instances in different orientations was designed. The individual object views are segmented and registered. In the resulting point cloud, geometric primitives are detected. For active perception, sensor poses are sampled above the detected...

The theoretical base to identify the transfer functions of the vibrating hexapod with and without lose mass was elaborated and is described in milestone 2 (M12)
The experimental implementation and verification of this theory was started in the last month, using vibration sweeps of the hexapod from 0 to 30 Hz.
In the...

The work progress of the experiment is according to the work plan without any significant delays. The setup of the test arrangement (Task 5) is currently under construction. Therefore the passive arms are mounted at the clamping table and connected pneumatically and electrically. The layout and the gripper fingers are...

The modular robot by SCHUNK has been setup and Fraunhofer IPT now extends the stand-alone robot operator interface to be capable of programming complex assembly tasks. Reusable automation steps such as robot tool exchange have been identified and described in a hardware-independent manner so that automation steps can be...

During this period the WP7 has been continued. To obtain successful results at the tests in non-human tissues that will take part in the next step (WP8), the first sewing with yarn and fabric had been carried out. Lower side Upper side During these tests, the same problem that was explained at the previous report appeared,...
