A Mobile Service Robot for Life Science Laboratories
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we presents a project that is developing a mobile service robot to assist users in biological and pharmaceutical laboratories by executing routine jobs such as filling and transporting microplates. A preliminary overview of the design of the mobile platform with a robotic arm is provided. One focus of the project is aspects of safety since the robot and humans will share a common environment. Hence, several safety sensors such as laser scanners, thermographic components and artificial skin are employed. Moreover, the approaches to object recognition are described.
