  • ORIOLE a Parametric Solution for Robotic Videography
    ORIOLE A Parametric Solution for Robotic Videography EBRAHIM POUSTINCHI 1Kent State University [email protected] Abstract. Oriole is a parametric tool that enables designers to visualize/simulate the robotic videography, the camera path, and the camera aim digitally and in a precise way. Designers using Oriole are able to use Rhino 3D and its node-based visual programming plug-in, Grasshopper 3D-as native design software, to design a robotic camera motion with a fixed or animated target. Keywords. Robotics; Software Development; Representation; Parametric Design; Videography. 1. Abstract This paper presents a project-based research study using Oriole-a custom-made plug-in for grasshopper 3D software, as a new tool for robotic videography. Oriole is a parametric tool that enables designers to visualize/simulate the robotic videography, the camera path, and the camera aim digitally and in a precise way. Designers using Oriole are able to use Rhino 3D and its node-based visual programming plug-in, Grasshopper 3D-as native design software platforms, to design a robotic camera motion with a fixed or animated target (Figure 1, and 2). Using a digital model and robotic simulation platforms for different industrial robots such as KUKA, ABB, and Universal, Oriole enables designers to design/create a precise interaction between the robotic “camera” and the physical environment.

  • Evaluation of Human Safety in the DLR Robotic Motion Simulator Using a Crash Test Dummy
    2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) Karlsruhe, Germany, May 6-10, 2013 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institute of Transport Research:Publications Evaluation of Human Safety in the DLR Robotic Motion Simulator using a Crash Test Dummy Karan Sharma, Sami Haddadin, Sebastian Minning, Johann Heindl, Tobias Bellmann, Sven Parusel, Tim Rokahr and Alin Albu-Schaeffer Abstract— The DLR Robot Motion Simulator is a serial kinematics based platform that employs an industrial robot (as opposed to the conventional ’Hexapod’) to impart motion cues to the attached simulator cell. This simulation platform is the culmination of ongoing research on motion simulation at the Robotics and Mechatronics Center, German Aerospace Center (DLR). Safety tests were undertaken to ascertain the effects of critical motions and subsequent emergency stop procedures on the prospective human passengers of the simulator cell. To this end, an Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) aka ’crash test dummy’ was used as a human surrogate for these tests. Several severity indices were evaluated for the head-neck region, which was found to be more susceptible to injuries compared to the rest of the body. The results of this study are discussed in this paper. I. INTRODUCTION Motion simulation systems enjoy widespread applications Fig. 1.
