3EALITY

Be part of the next edition of 3EALITY Sessions: a series where innovators and creatives share real-world use cases with the 3EALITY community.Policy makers, company CEOs, and the general public dream of robots being able to physical interact with the world similarly to how we do. The reason is simple: access to such a technology would unlock and revive many applications for which setting up a viable business case is currently impossible due to technical infeasibility. The drivers for automation are well known: labor shortage, ergonomics, safety, and an aging population.While there is currently a clear hype around AI and humanoid robots, novel enabling technologies to build new type of robotic systems are indeed becoming available to system engineers. Recent advancements in machine learning, computational and mechatronics hardware, combined with traditional model-based engineering are bringing human-like robotic manipulation closer to reality.Quadrupeds jumping on rocky terrains, humanoid robots performing summersaults, robot manipulators folding laundry: it is an exciting time in the field of robotics research., both for manipulation and locomotion. But where do we really stand? What is a realistic and sensible technological roadmap for this new form of robotics manipulation?In this talk, Dr. Alessandro Saccon will provide an overview of the robotics research carried out in the last 10 years at the TU/e on this fascinating field of research, touching upon visuotactile perception, physics simulation with switching contacts and dry friction, real-time digital twins for robotic manipulation, motion planning and control, actuator technology, and computational hardware for machine learning.
