KUKA Products for Research & Education KUKA Lightweight Robot Fast Research Interface youBot 14

Technical data – Mechanics LWR4+ Payload: 7 kg Weight: 16 kg Max. joint velocity: 112.5°/s - 180°/s Number of axes: 7 (R* – K* – R – K – R – K – R) Reach: vertical: 1100 mm / horizontal: 790 mm Supply: 48 V DC internal, 115/230 V AC external with automatic switch Repeatability: ± 0.05 mm Mounting position: floor, wall, ceiling * R = Rotation around longitudinal axis K = Rotation around transverse axis 15

Innovative features of the KUKA Lightweight Robot gravity compensation kinematic redundancy programmable damping programmable stiffness

Fast Research Interface (FRI) purpose: to remotely control the LWR to enable researchers to combine their own control algorithms and peripherals with the unique features of the LWR (researchers can focus on their research!) Cyclic timeframe: range 1 - 100 ms examples: DLR: connect LWR to haptic input device TUM: mobile dual handed manipulation KUL: peer-to-peer haptics

KUKA Medical Robots Development KUKA Roboter GmbH / Siemens AG Medical Solutions Absolute positioning KUKA robot – Sub-millimeter accuracy required Standard SafeRDC – Safe operation Unprecedented accessibility

KUKA Medical Robots – Med AX Application Innovative angiography and cardiology system Angiography is a medical imaging technique in which an X-ray picture is taken to visualize the inner opening of blood filled structures, including arteries, veins and the heart chambers. The Robot holds the C-arm incl. tube, collimator and detector and moves it according to the control commands.

KUKA Medical Robots – Med PT Application Particle Therapy Handling of C-Arc & Patient Positioning by robots Particle therapy is a form of external beam radiotherapy using beams of protons and carbon ionics The robot guides a patient couch relatively to an particle beam. The couch can be positioned in relation to the acquired X-ray-data coordinates.

KUKA Medical Robots – Accuray Cyberknife Sub-millimeter accuracy requirements of full body radiosurgery System offers unprecedented accessibility to tumors anywhere in the body The KUKA robot guides a linac to treat tumours with X-Ray beam. The linac can be positioned highly flexible by the robot. Respiratory guided robot movements guaranties lower dose application.

1st BRICS Research Camp Task: identify best practice algorithms, e.g.: Mobile Manipulation incl. inverse kinematics,3D Perception and Modelling, SLAM, … Discuss re-use and openness of robotics software Make sure everybody has a lot of fun and in the end also has a scientific benefit.
