Design of a laparoscopic intervention simulation platform actuated by magnetho-rheological clutches

Exonetik

The research is developing a haptic simulation device actuated by magneto-rheological (MR) clutches to facilitate and accelerate the training of future surgeons by simulating laparoscopic procedures. This device is composed of a robotic arm with 3 degrees of freedom developed by Exonetik and coupled to a robotic trocar with 2 ...

Development of a robot for realistic execution of hockey slap shots

À la recherche d'un partenaire

In the sports industry, more and more equipment manufacturers are getting equipped with robots that simulate the movement of athletes to validate and test their products. When it comes to hockey, given the complexity of the movement to replicate, no existing robot can faithfully reproduce the impacts occurring when the ...

Human presence detection integrated with a manipulator robot

Kinova

The project consists in developing a system that will allow collaborative robots to sense human presence in their workspace and modulate their operating speed according to the proximity in order to satisfy safety requirements at all times. To do that, the sensors and technologies on the market and in academia ...
