very much indeed for the introduction and thank you for inviting me going to start my presentation with little gain help
00:00:07
me to find where charlie is in this video it
00:00:12
it's quite a difficult exercise because in this type of application
00:00:17
for a few people so we're on the factory floor you can
00:00:21
find a few people but interaction between robots and humans is pretty limited
00:00:29
the only interaction usually is if i'm human and does the perimeter of the robot then the the machine stops
00:00:39
i know in manufacturing enterprises to use a robots which use the same
00:00:45
work spaces humans which collaborate with humans which are used as a tool
00:00:49
and we have existing robotics companies which are creating these new products and new companies which of flirting
00:00:55
and which specialise in this type of collaborative robot or
00:01:00
we also have a lot of robotics uh applications which uh i'm not in the context of for
00:01:07
manufacturing and which are closer to us robots which are close to us and further away from us
00:01:14
the ones which are close to us our system it's robots
00:01:19
for example surgical robots and those which are further away from us
00:01:26
um they often i use because it's a place which is too remote for us to go to
00:01:31
and therefore we prefer to send the robot and to pretend that we are present uh but
00:01:35
uh we replaced by robots uh uh remotely
00:01:39
this can be tele present so tele operation applications
00:01:45
what is common to these different forms of robots is that these robots
00:01:48
are required to be programmed to much more frequently than robots
00:01:52
in the automotive industry as i showed you in the video
00:01:56
so uh how a research group has been looking into the
00:02:00
way in which these robots are to be programmed and to use
00:02:03
uh imitation mechanisms to be able to do so
00:02:09
to teach the robot how to do task in exactly the same way you would teach a human to do the task
00:02:16
i will show you this in the various examples first of all with
00:02:19
the collaborative robots let's look first of all what a a robot is
00:02:25
if we take a human lloyd the robot you can define it technically as a series
00:02:30
of actually doesn't sensors and the way in which these are connected up but if you
00:02:36
define it in this way up there are many other things you could define in the same way
00:02:41
for example an automatic doors also sensor and actuator in the way of looking the two up
00:02:47
in a way the robots suffers from the fact that in the first context
00:02:53
we're certainly going to be afraid that the robot might just be replacement
00:02:58
was in the second context we're probably going to forget the fact that
00:03:04
once this mechanism
00:03:11
um mania we use to replace certain
00:03:14
jobs we can ask ourselves uh questions about
00:03:19
the the word to robot itself uh often robot uh as george if connotations
00:03:26
and some uses are going to move on to the code demand
00:03:28
project which is a a corporation with my colleagues said the burn uh
00:03:35
university of applied science is with these two people whose names you see
00:03:40
on the top right of the screen for us uh russia and professor
00:03:50
and isn't that the idea is to do cyclical testing the
00:03:54
approaches centred on the person's we're going to use these technologies
00:04:00
and they are going to be used for different needs
00:04:06
we're talking about uh in does different industrial needs a agility
00:04:11
three different interest only to julie t. productivity inflexible team we're going to intervene on the people who really need these tools
00:04:18
yeah maybe we have an idea in mind about this
00:04:20
technology is we observe how these people will use those technologies
00:04:24
and we'll see whether they can help us to re format these technologies so that they can be even more useful
00:04:31
so the notion behind this project is one of empowerment to really see the
00:04:38
um robot is a tool which and people can use
00:04:42
in the way in which they wish maybe some people will
00:04:46
use it to very little it but this flexibility also
00:04:50
has to be provided so that they can evolve over time
00:04:57
initially the robot will be tested for task which is not really
00:05:00
important and then the people are testing it will be able to uh
00:05:06
contributor on a um knowledge to quite this technology i'm
00:05:12
going to a few words about robots used for assisting people
00:05:16
here we see a large number of new applications for assistance robots let me give you some examples
00:05:24
for example robotic and help someone to get out of bed to promote
00:05:28
that if it's your therapist robot and robot which helps people to make fruit
00:05:37
bottom left and hear a robot which can help with washing
00:05:45
okay what simple just have this flexibility aspect but also the personalisation
00:05:48
aspect in other words each person is going to have different needs
00:05:55
and of course it's also important to be able to reprogram the machine according to the person
00:06:02
often it's a tripartite uh uh interaction it's not only
00:06:06
between the and one person and the robot but maybe
00:06:09
also the medical staff who have to be able to reprogram the machine so to third party can use it
00:06:19
no and i there are two projects i would like to
00:06:23
describe the with regard to this and uh application i dress
00:06:29
i have two scenarios helping someone to put on the shoe or to put on a jacket
00:06:35
and behind the person you can see the technological elements
00:06:39
that you'd need in order to be able to help
00:06:41
this person the big chunk here is that you have to combine not only a movement but an applied force
00:06:49
so the person is not constrained by the robot but can move freely
00:06:53
so you have to have a robot which needs to be flexible most of the time
00:06:57
and rigid only when you really have to apply certain forced to to a specific task
00:07:05
another example of like to show you is a project which
00:07:09
started recently which we would like to develop a robot turn
00:07:15
to provide personalised assistance to help us and uh stand
00:07:19
up and sit down if you the model of what happens
00:07:22
if if you know the person and if you know the robot what has to be done to help this person
00:07:31
e. your seven and some hypotheses about the a number of points of contact
00:07:37
uh personalisation involve saying that rather of course joints
00:07:42
some joints which may be more problematic than others and we
00:07:46
want to provide assistance which can be adapted to this specific scenario
00:07:51
one person might uh i'm i'm joint which hurts him or her or uh which does not have enough muscles
00:07:58
the project is still in its infancy
00:08:02
the uh i use is a very important we're doing this with our colleagues from the ages of stuff and
00:08:10
uh institute in slovenia who specialise in studying behaviour
00:08:16
yeah the buttons when two people collaborate with one another but also with all the
00:08:20
bile mechanical aspects not what's being able to collect the data with several types of senses
00:08:28
you know to to understand what type of assistance you need for this
00:08:32
particular application work or the sun summary of the message i would like to
00:08:44
country with this presentation is that when you think of
00:08:47
the word robotics you have to realise that to row row
00:08:51
robotics is very fast um can be assistance robotics collaborative
00:08:55
in industry or process prostheses all rehabilitation tools and so on
00:09:03
uh will uh and with this last slide which shows you the faces of the
00:09:07
people who are behind the projects that i've just described you think if your attention
00:09:21
thank you i think that
