As stipulated in the original plan of the Project, the first test in a pig intestine has been carried out with the assistance of a surgeon doctor from the project partner HUVH. As expected, the seam was not good at all and it could not finish the entire sewing. However, the surgeon doctor determined that the stitches made in...

The general idea of the MoFTaG experiment is to use physical interaction with a human tutor to teach important areas in the working places and corresponding specific configurations to the robot. Our hypothesis is that such man-machine interaction (MMI) provides an intuitive way to teach an inverse kinematic to redundant...

Task 5 - Implementation of Visual Servo Control A full-implementation of visual servo control functionality turned out to be more complicated as expected. High performance losses in the Bowden-cables due to friction effects compel us to reconstruct the drive system in a radical manner. Due to the reconstruction of the drive...

The experiment was planned to end on March 2012. Anyway, due to the late in the deliver
of the robotic hands, the deadline for the last deliverable has been postponed to June 2012.
During the last two months we focused mostly on the following aspects.
• Further calibration of the instrumented object.
• Mapping algorithms with...

Come to Automatica (booth 530 hall B3) and have a look at the stiff backlash-free (mechanically or by software) robots (full size and table-top size) with micrometer repeatability. The patent-pending wrist motion gives 6DOF parallel actuation. The picture shows a simplified model of the table-top model. Imagine what it can be...

This is the third public summary of the MUCE experiment. During this period we have mainly worked to find a solution for the navigation and positioning problem. We started to do a number of different experiments in real pool environments to understand the physical opportunities and limitations. As a result of this tests...

Development of different (kinematic and dynamic) control schemes for the Quattro S650 parallel manipulator. These controllers were implemented in the simulator of the robot. Extensive simulations were conducted for different scenarios and simulation conditions. With the kinematic calibration, we improve the precision...

In the past reporting period we have mainly consilidated our demo in order to prepare for our large scale experiment at Grundfos in October. In addition, we have started investigating the use of an iPad for skill and task programming.
