• result and outlook
Introduction: definition of robot
various definitions:
• simple definition
• definition according to VDI-Guidelines
• definition from robot-experts
Definition: VDI-guidelines
„A Robot is a free and re-progrrammable, multifinctional manipulator with at least three independent axes, for moving materials, parts, tools or special devices on programmed, variable courses, to fulfil the most diverse tasks.”
Excursion: humanoide robots
Four different kinds of humanoide robots:
• movement on two legs• Research robots• Entertainment robots• Robot Heads
Humanoide robots:movement on two legs
WABOT I, Honda 1973:
• first time upright walk
• cable control
• grabbing of articles
• conversation on japanese
eyes, ears, mouth
Humanoide robots:movement on two legs
further developments of Honda chronologically:
• WABOT II• P1• P2• P3 • Asimo
Humanoide robots:movement on two legs
P1 P2 – P3
P3
P2: first Robot with self control
P3: selfcontrol against falling down and
radio telecontrol for several activities
since P3: waklking is not only possible on levels stairs
Humanoide robots:movement on two legs
Asimo:• weight: 52 kg• Joints: 26• 1,6 km/h• clim stairs, move sidewards, slow motion• brings itself into balance• face recognition• simple sentences
Humanoide robots:movement on two legs
latest development from Sony – QURIO:
• first robot that is able to run and jump
• problem: brief loss of ground contact
• so far only prototype
Humanoide robots: robot heads
• why heads? mimic
• why mimic? communication without words:
- international
- better acceptance
- mimic as roboter-human-interface
- understandably for deaf persons
Humanoide robots: robot heads
Kismet and Leonardo
social Communication:
- simulates feelings by moving lips, eyes and ears
- Is able to recognize the feelings of a person due to the voice
- shoulder-twitching and gesturing
Robots as guards: MOSRO
• Robowatch Technologies GmbH, Munich
• MObiles Sicherheits-ROboter-System
• pre-defined waypoints
• data communication to the center
• request for identification
Robots as guards: MOSRO
• ultrasonic sensors: close range and navigation
• radar: recognition of a moving target
• CCD-camera
• optical-accustic signal warning system
• 800 MHz crusoe-Processor, Red Hat Linux 7.0
Robots as guards: MOSRO
• sketch file can be loaded on robot
• speed: 4 km/h 18 hours working time Independent loading
• Price: 15.000 Euro
Robots as guards: MOSRO
advantages :• saving cost of electricity (lighting in buildings)• lower hourly wages• robot has no bags
but:• no complete replacement of human guards
Robots as guards : MOSRO-Mini
guard for at home:
• camera• movement alarm unit • heat sensor (radius 12m)• alarm siren• acoustic output• expandable: gas and
smoke detector
Robots as guards : MOSRO-Mini
on danger:• Informs owners, emergency call center or neighbour• Sends SMS oder pictures to: Handy PDA Basisstation (connected with PC)• Connection with mit DECT-Modem: Remote regard of the environment
• price: 1.200 Euro
Robots as guards : OFRO
• outdoor monitoring
• tracked vehicle, weatherproof
• employment in ports, military plants etc.
• speed: 2 m/s• large ones need there
high losses by thefts • expandable:
Identification of chemicals, damage to gas lines
Robots as guards : Banryu
• „Banryu“ – company Tsmuk, Japan
• function as a watchdog• scanns environment with:
- infrared sensor
- ultrasonic sensors
- temperature sensors
- smell sensor
price: 17.000 Euro
Household robots
vacuum cleaner “Trilobite”:
• fully automatic• navigation system seizes
sketch of the area computation of the cleaning duration
• independent loading• notes terminator point
and begins there again• three different modes
• price: 1.599 euro
Household robots
• also Asimo will be a household robot in the future
• the company Matsushita plans a robot for shopping and sewing
Care robots
In Japan mixture of toys and care
robots:
• cat Tama: Medicine income
• dachshund: missing resonance informs physician
• dog Rosie (GB): blood pressure, pulse, temperature
• Maron-1 measures: mixture of guard and care robot
Maron-1
Care robots : Care-O-Bot
• developed at the Fraunhofer Institut
• orientation in the dwelling by camera and laser
• makes it possible that old and ill humans can live longer in their own home.
• understands simple instructions
• carries articles• does vacuum-cleaning
Care robots : Care-O-Bot
• supervises bodily functions • serves as a going assistance • worries about light, heating, alarm installation • administers dates • gets physician over face-to-face phone to the
bed • serves meal • price: 10.000 euro Series production still too
expensive
Care robots
• Japan: employment in hospitals
• robots should help persons to eat
• first tests at material hares
