In state of the art robotics, high positioning accuracy is achieved by using solid and stiff components as well as powerful drives. But in the field of social robotics, for example humanoid robots, it is often not possible using this approach due to special boundary conditions like design-space, weight-limitations, power-storage and many more.By contrast human beings are able to achieve remarkable...
This contribution presents the first results of the development of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which is capable of applying force to a wall while maintaining flight stability. This is a novel idea since UAVs are used so far only for tasks without physical contact to the surrounding objects. The basis for the work presented is a quadrotor system which is stabilized with an inertial measurement...
In state of the art robotics, high positioning accuracy is achieved by using solid and stiff components as well as powerful drive units which have no backlash. In contrast, human beings are able to achieve remarkable high positioning accuracy despite of low mass, low power consumption and relatively simple mechanics. One approach to obtain this accuracy is to temporarily create additional supporting...
