High admittance mecanism for insertion tasks

Robotiq

Insertion tasks in the robotic industry are more common today, especially in collaborative robots. These insertions are often slow and require the movement of the entire robot to achieve the insertion and the movement of a gripper over small distances. This system will accelerate the insertion tasks and possibly be ...

Development of a safe and performant collaborative robotic manipulator based on magnetorheological actuators

Exonetik

Collaborative, easy-to-use robotic manipulators are used in the industry to reduce risks or repetitive actions for operators. However, before collaborative robots can perform tasks close to humans, their design must be intrinsically safe and performant to operate without the need to slow their movements and limit their strength. Recent discoveries ...

Omnidirectional AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) robot control on an automated production line

Inogec

AGVs are becoming more prevalent in industry. These are versatile platforms for moving equipment between storage spaces and work spaces. The omnidirectional models are even more versatile because their great agility allows them to move easily in the cramped spaces typical of industrial environments. Intelligent control of their movements is ...

Position control of a wearable robotic arm

Exonetik

Wearable robotics arms, a robotic arm that is directly installed on a person, are a potential solution to a modern problem, the lack of workforce. Wearable robots could be used to work along with users to help them in a multitudes of industrials tasks. However, position control of wearable robot ...

The study of management methods to facilitate the integration of collaborative robotics in a manufacturing context

René Matériaux Composites

Appart from technical challenges, various human and managerial challenges may result from collaborative robotics implementation. This project aims to identify how employees can be affected by this technology and what are the required practices for proper change management in this context. 

Development of a haptic operation simulator device powered by magnetorheological clutches

Exonetik

The goal of the project is to design a device that will be able to simulate medical operations in order to offer a simulator to doctors in training. The device is a miniature robotic arm that is able to reproduce the forces experienced by a doctor during an operation. The ...
