The dual-arm robot can work instead of human workers. The new dual-arm robot for manufacturing IT products such as mobile phone and TV were developed. Here two real cases with the developed dual-arm robot are introduced. One case is cosmetic packaging and the other case is IT part packaging.
Snake robot or hyper redundant robot is very complex robotic system since it posses very large active and passive degree of freedom. To simplify the design, modeling and locomotion, a simpler approach is needed. In this paper a clustering of four bit bang-bang sequence control is proposed for every robot module to achieve serpentine shape configuration or gait. Next the Denavit Harternberg Method...
Human rights at poor working condition is the severe problem in modern manufacturing system. The industrial dual-arm robot is being developed to meet these social issues fundamentally. The industrial dual-arm robot can assemble the complex product in such way human do. We arm developing the dual-arm robot which has the function of assembly of IT products such as the mobile phone and LCD/LED panel...
This work introduces a continuum module for developing a biopsy device. A unit continuum module has 2 DOF, consisting of multiple springs and multiple cylinders. This continuum can be bent up to 180 degrees and it has small radius of curvature. The kinematics for this continuum is provided. A 5 DOF biopsy device is developed by assembling two continuum modules and it can be applied to take sample...
The demonstration in the presented video shows the outcome of interdisciplinary research done by the Robotics Research Group (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering), the School of Population Health and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland, to develop an interactive health care assistant robot. The research aims to design human robot interaction towards automated...
This study is an extension to our research on long term deployment of an assistive robot in a shopping mall. In this paper, we have discussed the architecture of robot Neel using rich web interactions and Unified communication methods to stay connected with users in an interpersonal manner. This enables the robot to build rapport among users by assisting shoppers to get offers and deals based on their...
In this paper we present the design framework of a shopping assistant system to be used in supermarkets mainly by elderly or disabled people. The whole system is based on the interaction of three different kinds of electronic devices: a) mobile devices that users carry with them (smart phones or electronic tablets), b) autonomous mobile robots assisting users by displaying information and carrying...
In this paper, a novel path planning method is presented and discussed. The method has its application in tasks like human-robot-interaction and cooperation. Thus special boundary conditions, i.e., real-time behaviour and safety, are of great interest. According to the presented results, cognitive industrial robotics without safety fences and a great autonomy are on their way to become part of our...
This paper describes a concerted effort to design and implement a robotic service framework. The proposed framework is comprised of three conceptual spaces: physical, semantic, and virtual spaces, collectively referred to as a ubiquitous robotic space. We implemented a prototype robotic security application in an office environment, which confirmed that the proposed framework is an efficient tool...
The vision of an ecology of physically embedded intelligent systems, or PEIS-Ecology, combines insights from the fields of autonomous robotics and ambient intelligence to provide a new approach to building robotic systems in the service of people. In this paper, we present this vision, and we report the results of a four-year collaborative research project between Sweden and Korea aimed at the concrete...
The concept of ambient intelligence requires software architectures enabling machine intelligence in unstructured dynamic environments. Research in mobile robotics tries to address this field since many years and has successfully created several architectural concepts for behavior-based reactive systems. We describe the architectural and communication-oriented capabilities of the modular controller...
We introduce the concept of ecology of physically embedded intelligent systems, or PEIS-ecology. This is a network of heterogeneous robotic devices (PEIS) pervasively embedded in the environment. A PEIS can be as simple as a toaster and as complex as a humanoid robot. PEIS can exchange information at different levels of abstraction, and share both physical and virtual functionalities to perform complex...
