Climbing robots

Research in the field of climbing robots started in 1995.

Since this date several robots had been developed:

Roma 1 for inspection steel-based structures,

Roma 2 for travel along concrete, wood, etc., and

Mats robot able of moving in domestic environments

Humanoids

Humanoid robots program of theRoboticsLab started on 2001 bydeveloping the 7 DOF bipedal robotLeroy

Since 2002: Rh-0 project, and later Rh-1

one, have the objective of developing a21 DOF full size robot.

The lab uses purchased fullsystems for research purposes(Hoap, from Fujitsu)

Mobile manipulators

The objective of this research line is todevelop advanced mobile manipulatorsable to operate in human environments.Manfred integrates perception, control,local and global planning in order to cope

with a wide spectrum of typical tasks

Personal/social robots

Current robots are present mainly in factories.Future robots will be also in our homes aspersonal companions to entertain and help us inour daily life

It is a platform to research in multimodal

interaction and emotions in robotics.
