Festos Bionischen Handling-Assistenten

Festos Bionic Handling Assistant is a great, exciting robots. He is not only an eye-catcher due to its resemblance to the elephant's trunk, but its structure also makes the use and interact with it naturally and safely. To however, catching a similar way as we do with other robots, we had to overcome some hurdles: The starting point was a robot without any model, and only a simple pressure control. Piece by piece we have added a forward model of the kinematics, simulation and length control. The point was, however, machine learning, inspired by the observation of babies Goal Babbling use, above all, the surprisingly quickly learns to control the robot.

MorpHex part III

I’ve just made a new video of MorpHex for demonstrating the rolling feature. One thing you may notice is that MorpHex rolls more or less in a curved direction instead of a straight forward direction. This is caused by the asymmetric design; the upper sphere section vs. the lower section. I’m about to get my hands on some more of those high torque servos and I’m thinking of making MorpHex more symmetrical again. Actually, that was my original plan:
