New operational fields of robots seminar multimedia

1. New operational fields of robots seminar multimedia Simone Stropp Wintersemester 03/04

2. Motivation • development of robots was a revolution of working world • robot employment  faster, high-quality production • wide range of new tasks • what‘s already possible? • what‘s the tendancy?

3. Content • what is a robot? • excursion: humanoide robots • robots as guards • robots in the household • care robots • result and outlook

4. Introduction: definition of robot various definitions: • simple definition • definition according to VDI-Guidelines • definition from robot-experts

5. 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.”

6. Excursion: humanoide robots Four different kinds of humanoide robots: • movement on two legs • Research robots • Entertainment robots • Robot Heads

7. 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

8. Humanoide robots:movement on two legs further developments of Honda chronologically: • WABOT II • P1 • P2 • P3 • Asimo

9. Humanoide Robots:movement on two legs Wabot II : while playing piano

10. Humanoide robots:movement on two legs P2 – P3 P1 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 P3

11. 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

12. Humanoide robots:movement on two legs Johnny, TU munich H6, TU munich

13. Humanoide robots:movement on two legs Robot SHADOW , England: walks with air pneumatic drive

14. 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

15. Humanoide robots: robot heads • why heads? mimic • why mimic?  communication without words: - international - better acceptance - mimic as roboter-human-interface - understandably for deaf persons

16. 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

17. Robots as guards: MOSRO • Robowatch Technologies GmbH, Munich • MObiles Sicherheits-ROboter-System • pre-defined waypoints • data communication to the center • request for identification

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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

25. 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

26. Household robots • also Asimo will be a household robot in the future • the company Matsushita plans a robot for shopping and sewing

27. 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

28. 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

29. 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

30. Care robots • Japan: employment in hospitals • robots should help persons to eat • first tests at material hares

31. Result and Outlook • Still far away from daily life with robots • often unrealistic time prognoses • Operational areas within wide ranges • One thing is sure: We will live more and more with robots in the future
