Air Octor Robot: Smart Soft Robot

Air Octor Robot uses pneumatically-pressurized chambers to provide the structural support necessary for bending. The robot's manipulator uses a combination of motors and pneumatic pressure regulators for actuation. DC motors, spools, and cables are combined to form a tendon-cable servo system which is used to control the bending of the manipulator sections.

Romeo Robot: Smart Humanoid Robot

Romeo Robot has been conceived to one day work as an assistant to elderly persons, to lengthen the time that they can continue to live independently in their own homes. Romeo is be able to walk up stairs, support people that have difficulty walking, or fetch objects from another room by himself. Romeo can also remind his owners of appointments or tell them when to take their medicine.

Posten Robot: Smart Deliver Robot

Posten Robot could signal the disappearance of the mailbox. A resident will receive a message that letters and packages are en route. He or she can decide to go down the street to pick them up or have them delivered to the front door at a convenient time. The robot drives back on its own in the evening. Overnight, it is filled with the next day’s deliveries.

Exosuit Robot: Smart Rehabilitation Robot

The soft exosuit creates forces on the body during walking through a Bowden cable-actuated multi-articular textile that interfaces to the wearer at the pelvis, leg and foot. The suit mimics the underlying function of the muscles at the hip and ankle and generates forces through a combination of passive and active tensioning.
