The present invention relates to a robotic maneuvering system for maneuvering objects by means of an adhesive attachment. The robotic maneuvering system comprises a gripper finger connected to a gripper arm. The gripper finger is configured to grasp an object to be manipulated, by means of an adhesive contact. The gripper arm maneuvers the object to a desired location and the gripper finger releases the object at the desired location. The present invention also relates to a corresponding method.

Adhesive based gripping of objects

The present invention relates to a gripper system comprising fingers. The gripper fingers are connectable to a gripper arm. The gripper fingers comprise a roller configured to spin around its central axis or a ball element rotatable in any direction; a stopper configured to stop and/or prevent the spinning of the roller or ball. The present invention also relates to a method for grasping and displacing an object.

Convertible frictionless to frictional fingertips for a gripper to improve robotic grasp robustness

The invention relates to a method for determining a grasp set of n gripping points for a common end effector of a robot, said end effector being used for grasping a plurality of parts, each part having its own geometry, the method comprises: (a) providing said plurality of parts in a CAD form; (b) meshing each of said parts; (c) determining for each of said parts all the possible grasps that are capable of holding the respective part by any k-contacts points end effector; (d) calculating a quality measure for each of said determined grasps; (e) calculating an allowable range for said calculated quality measures; (f) for each part, parametrizing each of its grasps that are found to be within said allowable range, by a feature vector; (g) performing a cross-part intersection between said grasps that are found to be within said allowable range, and determining those grasps that are intersected between parts; and (h) from among said intersected grasps, selecting a single grasp having a highest quality measure, said selected grasp is used for grasping said plurality of parts by said end effector.

Method and system for designing a common end effector for a robot which is capable of grasping plurality of parts, each having its own geometry

Apparatus for exercising a person's balance control, the apparatus comprising: a motion stage operable to displace an object mounted thereto; a treadmill mounted to the stage and comprising a belt having a runway surface on which a person using the treadmill stands, walks and/or runs; and a controller that controls the motion stage to provide a displacement of the treadmill and thereby the treadmill runway surface.

Balance perturbation system and trainer

The invention is an autonomous dual tracked mobile () robot system comprising two or more tracked driving units () configured to travel in tandem and a separate mechanical linkage (), which joins each of the mobile units to the unit immediately preceding and following it, and enables efficient power transmission between the two driving units. Each of the mechanical linkages comprises one connecting bar () and three revolute joints () located on each of the adjacent units and a connecting beam that connects the connecting bar on one of the units with the connecting bar on the adjacent unit.
