Davide Scaramuzza - University of Zurich rpg.ifi.uzh.ch Overview of the 3 NCCR Work Actions Intelligent Robots for Improving the quality of life Wearable robotics: Next generation of prosthetic robots and exoskeletons, which will be soft, modular, lightweight, and capable of adapting and interfacing to a variety of users. Rescue robotics for monitoring and catastrophe mitigation. Robots with extreme agility on the ground and in the air and capable of interacting with human users outdoors and indoors Robotic Assistants: Mobile robots to assist people with disabilities.
Davide Scaramuzza - University of Zurich rpg.ifi.uzh.ch Towards a Swiss Rescue Robotic Team Currently co-leading the Swiss Rescue Robotics project (sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation) Goal is to develop a new generation of robotic technologies capable to support professional rescuers and civil protection in first-response operations, such as search-and-rescue and emergency-and-crisis situations
Unstructured, unknown, dynamic environments! Current robotic solutions are very non-general and non-robust! Davide Scaramuzza - University of Zurich rpg.ifi.uzh.ch
Davide Scaramuzza - University of Zurich rpg.ifi.uzh.ch Research Challenges Multi-robot navigation and mapping Flying and ground robot locomotion Perception in cluttered environments Brain-controlled robots Multi-modal haptic feedback
Motivation Davide Scaramuzza - University of Zurich rpg.ifi.uzh.ch Search and rescue missions can benefit from robotic technologies (Fukushima, Gotthard rock slide, Italy earthquake) Current robots are teleoperated by trained professionals Switzerland has a long tradition in emergency aid and rescue actions
