  | Instituto Italiano Di TecnologiaOn the 22.02.2010 a mobile manipulator MM-500 was handed to the italian Instituto Italiano Di Tecnologia. Different from all former projects, this time no customisations were required and the robot was produced in the shortest possible time. This MM-500 thus was the first Neobotix robot that was ordered directly "off-the-shelf". The MM-500 IIT does not only feature a 7DOF LWA3 robot arm made by Schunk and a gripper with quick change flange, but also a completely new force-torque-sensor. This sensor was also developed by Schunk. | |

 | Uni AalborgIn January 2008 a mobile platform of type MP-L655 was shipped to the institute for production at the Aalborg university in Denmark. Equipped with a 6 DOF robot arm Adept Viper s650 the robot will be used for research on the field of mobile manipulation. To allow the industrial robot arm to move autonomously to several work places and be reliably used there the basic platform can dock at an automatic charging station. The current status of the several research and university projects that use the "Little Helper" can be found under machinevision.dk. The first industrial test application and later the full installation are scheduled for late 2009 and 2010. In the download section you will find a video of the robot. | |

 | Uni BremenOn 17.3.2006 Neobotix delivered a mobile plattform MP-M470 to the University Of Bremen. This platform will continue the long row of research projects done by the Institute of Automation on the field of robotics. When equipped with an 6 DOF robot arm the platform will be used in research on mobile manipulation. | |

 | FH DüsseldorfNeobotix delivered a mobile platform to the Fachhochschule Düsseldorf used at the research project 'Ego Secundus'. The goal of this project is to develop a new way of communication between people who are far apart. The platform, a modified MG-400, is exclusively destined for telepresence and does not have a laser scanner. Because of this it is unable to move autonomously. Only when a user has logged in via the internet, the robot can be moved. | |

 | Uni Hamburg TAMSTAMS is an acronym for 'Technische Aspekte Multimodaler Systeme'. The general purpose of this institute is to develop methods and to implement integrated real-time systems for the acquisition, processing and application of information gathered via multiple channels such as visual input, speech and sound, touch through action, etc. The research topics include multi-modal control architecture, sensor-based manipulation, robot learning, human perception, man-machine-interaction, computer architecture and VLSI design technologies. Application areas include service robots, active media, intelligent sensors and advanced nano-manipulation platforms. | |

 | Uni BielefeldThe complete automation of sampling and the subsequent sample management in mammalian cell cultivations on a pilot scale is the subject of this work. http://www.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de In order to achieve this goal, a sensor-guided industrial robot arm (platform MP-L655 with a Mitsubishi PA-10 manipulator) is used. The robot arm is equipped with a hand-camera, a force/torque sensor and an electrical gripper. In addition to the normal laboratory equipment, a computerized automatic sampling station, a pipetting device and a cell counter are also needed. The robot takes a sample tube filled by a sampling device to different machines. The cell density is determined by the cell imaging system. Bar-code scanner and cell counter deliver the off-line data to the device control system. After processing, off- and on-line data are stored and visualized in the process control system that is connected to a network and a modem. The whole system is controlled by a device control system. So far all equipment has been arranged in a close circle around the robot arm in the working space of one meter. The next step in the follow-up project is to perform the given tasks with the robot mounted on a mobile platform. This enables the robot to move autonomously between the laboratory devices. First results of the experiments with the extended equipment are already available. There are two videos that demonstrate the application of this robot available for download: Video-1 (MPG, 68MB) and Video-2 (MPG, 23MB) | |
