Some interesting changes in industry
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #5
New generation of robots/cobots
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #6
• New: UR3, 5 & 10 Universal Robots
• New: Baxter & Sawyer of Rethink Robotics
• YuMi off ABB
• CR-35iA Fanuc
New generations robots/cobots
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #7
Are these bots replacing humans?
• Flexible robots that collaborate safe
• Gripping & vision• Binpicking 3D vision, object detection
• Integrated vision, sensing
• Intelligent behaviour, retrying, adaptive
What is so new in these cobots
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #8
• Intelligent behaviour, retrying, adaptive
• Easy-to-use, integrated programming
• High-tech manufacturing (low volume, high mix)
• No safety cage, soft, low power, slow
• More flexibilible robot systems in:
• Micro logistiecs inside production
• Machine (un)loading
• Sorting, packing, etc.
• Easy to adapt
What does industry want?
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #9
• Easy to adapt
• By production personnel
• Education in robotics
• Safe and robuste cobots
• Speed is not important
So what is happening in our EU industry:
• Less production in China
• How to robotize low volume high mix manufacturing
• Lower cost greater flexibility
• Less workers
• Use the workers skills better than before• Use the workers skills better than before
• Robotize bottom up small scale from the shop floor
OR
• Classic top down big projects with little flexibility

So what is new on Baxter?
• 2 arms with 7 DOF (joints)
• Maximum 2.2 kg payload per arm
• Powerfull pc(i7)
• On board simple programming
• 3 camera’s
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #12
• 3 camera’s
• Infrarood sensors
Baxter Robot in action • Baxter flexibiliteit

What is so new in robotics?
• Navigation
• Localisation (indoor and outdoor)
• Mapping of the environment
• Kinematics (Motion planning and controlled multi joint motion)
• Vision (2D / 3D)• Vision (2D / 3D)
• Hardware independent control (ROS)
• Safety
• Modularity
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #16
• Robot Operating System (ROS)
• Hardware independent
• Open-source flexibele frame work
• Collection of ‘tools’ connected via network
ROS: new trends in robot control
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #17
• Modular architectures, re-use of software and hardware
What has Moore to with Robotics?
• Hans Moravec 1997: When will computers match human brains
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #18
Extrapolation of computer intelligence
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #19
Are robot replacing people?
• Transition over 20 years where robots support people
• As simple to use as a smartphone
• We get more robot technology in devices we already usethan that we will see new robots.
AndAnd
• China soon is not a low wage country anymore
• China wants to become a world player in adaptive robotics
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #20
Impact on our eductation
• Talent oriented research minor Adaptive Robotics
4-dec-15 Henk Kiela Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven #21
Why talent oriented education vs competences?
• Can education keep up with ever faster technologydevelopment?
• The age gap
• Who is in the lead in education? Teachers or students?
• Do we need exactly the standardised competences as • Do we need exactly the standardised competences as
defined?
• Who defined them and when?
• Did you enjoy education?
• Could you have learned more in the same time
• Is school time the only time yout learn?
• Can we do better?
