  1. Development at MOOG-FCS dbHaptics meeting, Delft, 2006-06-21

  2. MOOG USA • MOOG is big - 6000 people, 1 billion yearly turnover • MOOG strategy - acquisitions • current acquisition targets - fluidics - medical robotics • role of FCS Robotics - talent scout - in house development

  3. MOOG-FCS Projects • Haptic Master improvement • Tomation autonomous fruit picking robot • HM Rehab versions for Chicago, Roessingh • 6-DOF tests for “Touch and Design” • Satin encountered ribbon display • Wristalyzer • Simodont dental drilling simulator • Simple surgical tools, maybe

  4. Tomation • Autonomous fruit (well, leaf) picking robot • Camera and force sensor • Emergent behaviour based on simple reflexes • No path planning, simple computer

  5. Tomation cart

  6. Tomation camera & cutter head

  7. Haptic Master development • Cheaper manufacturing (factor of 2 to start with) • Simplified software • Better control (lower virtual mass) • Simpler API • CHAI-3D and other world toolkits

  8. Rehab robots • Neural rehabilitation of stroke patients • Long standing interest • Slow development and clinical testing • Sales to various institutes • Jules Dewald / Roessingh

  9. 6-DOF version Touch and Design • Virtual clay modelling for the car industry • Three year EU project (STREP), ends this year • Project leader Politecnico di Milano • Customers involved: Pininfarina, Alessi, Eiger • Combines two Haptic Masters into a single 6-DOF device • Works very well • Useful spin-off would be a 5-DOF HM with gripper

  10. Touch and Design end effector

  11. Satin encountered ribbon display • Three year EU project (STREP) starting end of this year • Follow-on for Touch and Design • Exploring virtual surfaces • Curving strip encountered device

  12. Wristalyzer • 1-DOF diagnostic device for tremor etc. • Brushless motor • TREND project • Interest from the market • Useful spin-off: MRI compatible version

  13. Simodont • Dental trainer: drilling, root canal treatment • Development for ACTA starting this month • Small size, newly developed haptic device • Graphics colocated, stereo • Market interest in US (Harvard et al.) • US partner for scans of teeth (Stanford)

  14. Simple surgical tools, maybe • Intuitive is suddenly rich and arrogant • Very limited applicability • Grossly expensive • Historical mistake to go remote master-slave (military history) • Market opportunity for simpler, more versatile tools • AMC has good ideas, try to interest MOOG USA
