The objective is to produce a full-size, bipedal humanoid robot with human dimensions and weight built around a plastic human skeleton. The robot will be controlled by a hierarchy of evolutionary systems. Coco , Cog , Kismet , Macaco , Papers , People , Retired Robots , and more. Also see the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine . Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics - Design of mechatronic systems is the main goal of the institute.
Examples are new lightweight robots and advanced vehicle systems with active components.
Such projects integrate the core skills in dynamic system modelling and simulation, design of robust control algorithms and multibody formalisms, development of highly integrated robot sensors and actuators and remote control of semi-autonomous systems. The System seamlessly translates the surgeon's natural hand movements at a console into corresponding micro-movements of the instruments positioned inside the patient through small puncture incisions, or ports. Includes the real World Interface line of robots and accessories. JPL Robotics - Development of innovative robotics and automation technologies supporting NASA missions. Researchers work toward enabling more efficient, lower cost missions dedicated to planetary surface and solar system exploration, Earth observations from space, astrophysical experiments in space and on the Moon, and the extension of human capabilities in space.
