Semi-Automated Tile-Laying Aid

May 7th, 2024 | by

https://youtu.be/2aJtSazLz1M

As part of the ErgoFli project, an innovative system is being developed in collaboration with project partners to help tile layers make their work more ergonomic and efficient.

In the video you can see how the system works in the Gazebo simulation environment. The robot automatically removes tiles from a magazine and matches them perfectly to the tiles already laid. With automatic processes, several tiles can be laid in succession to optimize the work process.

Our aim is to create a tool that not only reduces the workload for tilers, but also improves their working environment. We are excited about the progress and look forward to sharing more insights with you soon!

IMBA training for the IIDEA project team

May 7th, 2024 | by

Our IIDEA-project team took part in a training course on the “Integration of people with disabilities into the world of work” (IMBA).

IMBA is positioned at the interface of medical and occupational rehabilitation and enables a precise description and comparison of work requirements and human abilities. The training covered the basics of IMBA, with a particular focus on the defined characteristics that serve as the basis for the assessment of work requirements and abilities. A highlight of the training was the introduction to the “Marie Plus” software, which is closely linked to the IMBA concept. The training was conducted by Torsten Alles, Ph.D., Managing Director of iqpr. His extensive knowledge and experience helped to emphasize the importance of IMBA in occupational therapy and activity-based medical rehabilitation.

We are convinced that this training will support our previous research and make a valuable contribution to the IIDEA project. We are grateful for the expertise we have gained through this training and look forward to applying the acquired knowledge in our daily work.

Here you can find more information about the IIDEA project.

Cross section group: Application Dynamics

January 13th, 2023 | by

 

The Application Dynamics team is made up of members from all IGMR research areas. This allows the skills in vibration analysis and machine dynamics to be optimally combined with the expertise and many years of experience in power transmission and robotics. This fusion of the Institute’s internal research priorities enables solutions to be found to problems that require both technical knowledge of dynamics and application-specific expertise. This cross section of knowledge is applied, for example, in the form of a needs-based investigation and exploitation of the dynamic effects of a system. The focus is on applications in robotics and gearing, but also covers all types of mechanical motion systems. The current research horizon ranges from kinematic redundancy and high-speed trajectories to the use of neural networks to extend the workspace through innovative object manipulation.

IGMR Consensus In Sensor Robot Network

August 24th, 2022 | by

Agile and freely networked assembly systems are characterised by the sensoric-supported cooperation of several mobile and stationary robots. However, the dynamic transformation of the production lines demands especial control strategies for robotic manipulators. Fast and reliable motion planning and control schemes should be developed that appropriately react to the changes in the environment and setpoints, and produce feasible motions. These assembly systems can then be mapped into the structure of a meta-model that leads to the creation of digital shadows of the factories of the future.

Participation at European Robotics Forum (ERF) Hackathon 2022

July 19th, 2022 | by

As part of the European Robotics Forum (ERF) Hackathon 2022, six IGMR students demonstrated their talent in prototyping and working with robots. The hackathon challenge was set by Lely, among others. Their Juno mobile robots are autonomous cylindrical platforms whose main task is to move the fencing around cows on farms to make the feed pushed into the space accessible again. The hackathon task was similar: two Juno robots had to move along the walls of two interconnected rooms at a given distance. Additional restrictions and challenges were added for extra points. The team was successful at the hackathon in Rotterdam. After a neck-and-neck race, the first place went to TU Delft. At the award ceremony, we were praised as the most cooperative team for our constant support of other teams in design and 3D printing. This exemplary behaviour is much appreciated and we look forward to taking part again next year.

Special praise goes to our students Sebastian Polzin, Frederik van Kerkom, Jonas Braun, Oleksander Kutovyi, Ali Berger and Yannik Freischlad for their efforts. We congratulate TU Delft on their well-deserved victory and are happy to have won many new friends and valuable contacts. We thank the institute management for the opportunity to participate and look forward to next year.

For the collaborative use of robots in firefighting operations, it is of high importance to know the exact position of the squad members at any time. For this purpose, radar-based leg trackers are being researched at IGMR. Radar is particularly suitable for firefighting operations because it is not affected by the usual sources of interference, such as smoke or dust. The current status of the radar leg tracker was last presented at the European Signal Processing Conference (EUIPCO) 2021.

Exercise observation at the Krefeld Fire Brigade

August 16th, 2021 | by

The IGMR is developing methods for predicting the behaviour of firefighters during indoor of the behaviour of firefighters during an interior attack. For an initial parameter study, an exercise observation was carried out during the real fire training of the Krefeld fire brigade. This video documents the sequence of an operation for rescuing people and fighting fires is documented.

We would like to thank the Krefeld fire brigade for their help with this project.
