Improving robotic manipulation through intelligent multimodal perception

Robotiq

Robotic systems have challenges to grasp and manipulate objects. The grasping process could be described in three main stages: Detection, planning and Execution. The foundation to complete a task is to have Generalizing methods for the new objects, environment and tasks which could be quite difficult due to uncertainty and ...

From craft to robot an innovation in industrial method

Kinova

The evaluation of manufacturing is very complex, in the medical and industrial fields. The application of several theories on production capacity and the processes involved will be put into practice in this project in order to validate the hypotheses and assertions in previous studies. Automation in the manufacturing field is ...

Test robot reproducing realistic hockey slap shot

Bauer

Hockey stick manufacturers wish to test their products for quality control and to help with the development of new models. However, there is currently no reliable and repeatable way of reproducing a slap shot that is representative of a real-life situation. Industrial robots currently used are poorly suited for this ...

Collaborative robot tasked with sanding gypsum walls

RCM

In the context of prefabricated house with gypsum walls, the building step of sanding the left-over plaster used for covering screw holes and joints between the gypsum sheets (on the walls, the ceiling and the corners), is a laborious task. The objective of the project is to detect the areas ...

Decision architecture for mobile robot autonomy

Sycodal

The research project proposed here therefore consists of exploiting a decision-making architecture to program a mobile manipulator robot to perform machine cleaning and maintenance tasks in industrial environments, such as vacuuming and taking vibration measurements on machines. This robot must operate in shared autonomy, that is to say that the ...

Impedance drive for hybrid force-position control of a manipulator robot

Kinova

Safety of use is one of the most important characteristics of collaborative manipulator robots. A lot of research in recent years is working to make these robots safer in different ways. Force control, although well known, is not easy to implement in a secure way. Indeed, most solutions for this ...
