The activity of the Robotics Lab in relation to Aerospace is focused in two
completely different areas: visual navigation of autonomous
satellites and simulation of some general systems of the Eurofighter
Aircraft
Assistive robot is one of the most promise robotic application in near future. Since 2000, Robotics Lab developes a robot for disable and elderly people assistant (MATS), general interactive intelligent assistant (PRA), and general humanoid assistant (Rh-
Research in the field of climbing robots started in 1995. Since this date several robots had been developed: Roma 1 for inspection steel-based structures, Roma 2 for travel along concrete, wood, etc., and Mats robot allows moving in domestic environments.
Humanoid robots program of the RoboticsLab started on 2001 by developing the 7 DOF bipedal robot Leroy. Since 2002 Rh-0 project, and later Rh-1 one, had the objective of development a 21 DOF full size robot.
In the last fwe days, sevaral colaborations have been established in Industrial Automation field as automatization of construcction processes and several task for automotion industries.
The objective of this research line is to develop advanced mobile manipulators able to operate in human environments. Manfred integrates perception, control, local and global planning in order to cope with a wide spectrum of typical tasks required for a s
Mobile Robotics is one of the most research fields of the Robotics Lab. Our group works are focused in control architectures, topological navigation, multimodal interaction and emotions in robotics.
Current robots are present mainly in factories. Future robots will be also in our homes as personal companions to entertain and help us in our daily life
The R&D activities of the RoboticsLab in the field of robotics & automation in construction started in earlies 90s. Several industrial and EU projects related with automation of the pre-fab parts, and modular building design & erection had been done.
