Intelligent service robotics

Rollin' Justin sweeps the shards of a broken cup
The work surrounding Rollin 'Justin includes the study of compliant whole body movements and their effects on the environment. Specifically, everyday household tasks such as window wiping, sweeping or vacuuming are examined.

Universal service robots are envisaged to revolutionize the way we live, from public services, over healthcare applications, to personal assistance. The robots required therefore have to be versatile, intelligent, and dexterous. RM contributes toward this vision by introducing the wheeled service robots Rollin’ Justin and Agile Justin, the torque-controlled humanoid robot TORO, the intrinsically compliant robot David as well as the C-Runner research platform. Together, these systems represent our next generation of highly capable, intelligent service robots.
