The developers of Hanover presented BioTac touch controller for the robot that simulates the human nervous system. According to the creators of the controller, an understanding of the dangers and “pain” make robots working in disaster areas, more cautious, according to Naked Science portal.
According to Gizmag, BioTac controller as an experiment was built into a “hand” -manipulyator Kuka robot. The controller is a model of human tissue that responds to tactile sensations such as depression or pain. Is transmitted to the robot signals the system determine the degree of “pain”, causing him to react appropriately. For example, when the signal is weak robot arm removes just slow up until the “pain” does not pass. A stronger signal causes the robot “cringe” faster, and the strongest takes AI in passive mode to prevent further damage. The publication notes that attempts to create a nervous system analog robots made before, and this is just one of them.
Developers controller – Johannes Kühn and Prof. Sami Hadaddin of the Leibniz University in Hanover – believe that their device will help robots to survive in case of emergency situations, for example, when working in areas of emergency. In time undetected damage caused by the robot may cause it to malfunction. And given the fact that robots are now increasingly working side by side with people who may cause accidents with people. Review your design creators BioTac published in IEEE Robotics and Automation magazine.
