Journal ArticleDOI
The DLR lightweight robot : design and control concepts for robots in human environments
Alin Albu-Schaffer,Sami Haddadin,Christian Ott,Andreas Stemmer,Thomas Wimbock,Gerhard Hirzinger +5 more
TL;DR: The first systematic experimental evaluation of possible injuries during robot‐human crashes using standardized testing facilities is presented, and a consistent approach for using these sensors for manipulation in human environments is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The DLR hand arm system
Markus Grebenstein,Alin Albu-Schaffer,Thomas Bahls,Maxime Chalon,Oliver Eiberger,Werner Friedl,Robin Gruber,Sami Haddadin,Ulrich Hagn,Robert Haslinger,Hannes Höppner,Stefan Jörg,Mathias Nickl,Alexander Nothhelfer,Florian Petit,Josef Reill,N. Seitz,Thomas Wimbock,Sebastian I. Wolf,Tilo Wüsthoff,Gerd Hirzinger +20 more
TL;DR: An anthropomorphic hand arm system using variable stiffness actuation has been developed at DLR and a paradigm change from impedance controlled, but mechanically stiff joints to robots using intrinsic variable compliance joints is carried out.
Journal Article
Soft robotics
Alin Albu-Schaffer,Oliver Eiberger,Markus Grebenstein,Sami Haddadin,Christian Ott,Thomas Wimbock,Sebastian I. Wolf,Gerd Hirzinger +7 more
TL;DR: An analysis on expected advantages and also disadvantages of VSA actuators was presented and two VSA joint designs motivated by this analysis were presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Humanoid Two-Arm System for Dexterous Manipulation
C. Ott,Oliver Eiberger,Werner Friedl,Berthold Bauml,Ulrich Hillenbrand,Ch. Borst,Alin Albu-Schaffer,Bernhard Brunner,Heiko Hirschmüller,Simon Kielhöfer,Rainer Konietschke,Michael Suppa,Thomas Wimbock,Franziska Zacharias,Gerd Hirzinger +14 more
TL;DR: A humanoid two-arm system developed as a research platform for studying dexterous two-handed manipulation based on the modular DLR-Lightweight-Robot-III and theDLR-Hand-II and an overview of the different sub-systems is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hand of the DLR Hand Arm System: Designed for interaction
Markus Grebenstein,Maxime Chalon,Werner Friedl,Sami Haddadin,Thomas Wimbock,Gerd Hirzinger,Roland Siegwart +6 more
TL;DR: The hyper-actuated hand, very close to its human archetype in terms of size, weight, and, in particular, grasping performance, robustness, and dynamics, is presented and will be the basis of a simplified hand that would still perform daily manipulation tasks.
