| Duration: | 1st July 2020 - 30th June 2023 | |
| Description: | In Germany, bomb disposal services deploy on average once a day to defuse unexploded ordnance or potentially dangerous objects. Until now, defusing robots have only been able to grip with fixed gripping forces. A new gripping system is based on innovative, very flat tactile 3D force sensors, which for the first time enable a very high measuring range up into the kN range with simultaneously very high resolution. Intelligent sensor matrics are to detect gripping forces correctly in three dimensions via miniaturized evaluation electronics. The new gripping system will be controlled in feedback with the sensors and will function in a wide range of climatic conditions as well as with high dust levels in the environment. For the first time, the newly developed software solution will be able to detect hard or soft objects and display the grip points of the objects. In addition, slippage of gripped objects is to be detected and significantly reduced through optimized motion control. In addition, an innovative force-feedback control system is being developed that will significantly simplify operation. | |
