AirArm
14 students of the bachelor and master programmes Industrial Design scionic®
A robot assistant at the human-machine interface 2009
Industrial Design scionic®
With its bionics-inspired, pneumatic 4-axis kinematics with inherent elasticity, it combines the advantages of dynamic and flexible human arm movements with state-of-the-art industrial components of automation technology and can e.g. be used for hazard-free interaction with humans. Further developments in the field of advanced robotics and handling techniques are to yield new areas of application.The bionic AirArm embodies a technology carrier for the development of assistance systems, e.g. for human-machine interfaces in workshop manufacturing or patient rehabilitation.
