KUKA Innovation Award 2017 – Finalist Spotlight
Air-to-Ground Coordinated Robot Motion | Team Tele-MAGMaS | France-Italy-South Korea

Application:
Manipulation of long and flexible objects in construction and search-and-rescue operations

Challenge:
Automate movement of long, unwieldy parts that produce heavy torque strain on robotic arm

Solution:
Aerial manipulator and ground-based robot manipulator coordinated with human guidance

Features:
• First application of aerial robot manipulator coordinated with ground robot manipulator
• Long, flexible and awkward parts can be moved around unstructured environments
• Telepresence framework with haptic and visual feedback allows for easy adaptability
• Aerial robot-ground robot-human coordinated motion enabled by tele-presence framework
• Aerial robot force controlled despite aerodynamics
