Haptic Interface for Handshake Emulation

Robotiq

The goal of this project is to develop such an interface to simulate a handshake. A robotic arm and hand make this interface.

Development of a robotic manipulator based on magnetorheological fluid 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 ...

Design and manufacturing of a wearable and collaborative supplementary robotic arm based on magnetorheological clutches.

Exonetik

Supernumerary robotic limbs (e.g. a second pair of arms) are wearable collaborative robots that enhance human performances and could reduce employee’s fatigue. One of the most challenging feat with collaborative robots is their interaction with human, which requires an excellent level of transparency (i.e. the ability of ...

Generating safety trajectories by taking into account the piece manipulated by the collaborative robot

IRSST

Human-robot cooperation continues to grow in the industry, bringing security challenges. Inspired by this new demand, several manufacturers have designed new "collaborative" robots, such as Universal Robot E-SERIES robots, OMRON TM or FANUC CR-15iA. This new generation of robots aims to eliminate physical barriers, while ensuring the safety of the ...

Détection automatique de tâches d'insertion pour la programmation par démonstration

Robotiq

De nos jours, les robots collaboratifs se font souvent enseigner des tâches à l'aide de démonstrations physiques plutôt que d'avoir à les programmer textuellement. Cette technique fonctionne bien pour plusieurs cas; par contre, certaines tâches comme des insertions précises peuvent être difficilement enseignées avec une programmation qui est ...

Design of a displacement sensor to manually control a six-degree-of-freedom serial robot

MEGATRACTION

The main goal of this research project is to develop a displacement sensor. This sensor will be a miniature passive parallel robot and will be mounted on the wrist of a serial robot. The user will be able to move the parallel robot to control the serial one.

Design of a macro/mini collaborative robot using a low-impedance mini mechanism with haptic feedback capabilities

Olympus

Human-Robot collaboration in manufacturing environment allows leverage of both human operator capabilities such as flexibility and dexterity and of robotic systems capabilities such as speed of execution, high precision and larger payload. This project aims at developing a macro/mini Cartesian architecture which allows collaboration between human and robot for ...
