Objective
Research objectives and content
The project is as well motivated by the increasing demand for high performance robots as by an improvement of the man-machine interface in telerobotic tasks. In the project the human shoulder, arm and wrist are analyzed to derive two models: - A 'close-to-nature' model, that represents the real characteristics of the human arm. - A 'technical' robot model, that serves as prototyping study of a human-arm-like robot manipulator. Technical feasibility is investigated. The design, evaluation and comparison of the models will be
accompanied by a detailed workspace analysis. Here the kinematic characteristics (criteria of manipulability) are analysed as a function of workspace position. Finally, the results are interpreted to improve man-machine interaction in telerobotic systems: - Ergonomic guidelines for force reflecting master devices are developed. - Zones of high kinematic performance are investigated to improve the mapping between master device and slave.
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)
- General view in methods and applications of robotics are provided by doctoral lectures and industrial seminars. - The project provides for: - Theoretical know-how: Robot mechanics, control and simulation - Practical know-how: Robot design, programming and ergonomics - Direct cooperation with industrial R&D The training will qualify Mr. Schafer not only to develop robotic systems for new industrial applications but also to advance robotic research in key issues on an academical level.
