| Ceiling based service robot Acronym: ACROBOTER Duration: 2007-2009 Coordinator: Budapest University of Technology and Economics Description: The project aims to develop a radically new robot locomotion technology that can effectively be used in home and/or in office environments for manipulating small objects autonomously or in close cooperation with humans. This robot is designed to move fast and in any 3D direction in an interior environment. The balance is sensed by digital gyroscopes and the robot arms are moved by rocket-propulsion drives, e.g. it is able to move a glass of water without spilling. The robot can move on the ceiling based track barrier free in any room and between rooms. On the grid structured track the robot is capable to move like on a chessboard. Role in the project: Our role in the project was to participate in the development of robot track. Design, manufacturing and implementation. We designed and produced the parts of the grid structured track which are used for the connection and releasing in anchor points.
