In dit afstudeerverslag wordt het proces en resultaat besproken van de opdracht “Autonomousemergency robot”. De opdracht is gedaan bij het bedrijf ICT Group in Deventer. ICT Group focust zichvoornamelijk op embedded systemen en wil meer te weten komen over het gebruik van autonomevoertuigen in distributiecentra. …

Inleiding: In de inleiding wordt aan de hand van relevante wetenschappelijke literatuur gekeken wat de ontwikkelingen zijn op het gebied van robotica in de zorg. Het gaat hierbij specifiek om sociaal ondersteunende robots in zorginstellingen en bij patiënten met hersenproblematiek. Hiernaast wordt hier …

In dit onderzoek is gekeken naar welke interventies er in de literatuur en praktijk ingezet zijn om operators veilig en alert te kunnen laten werken met cobots. Allereerst is er gekeken naar mogelijke oorzaken van onveilig of niet alert gedrag bij operators. Dit zijn situation awareness (Endsley, 2015) …

Dit artikel is met toestemming overgenomen uit Microniek, 2020, nr 5 Robotics research groups around the world are using Robot Operating System (ROS)to develop their prototypes quickly. While the first version of ROS was aimed primarilyat the R&D community, its successor, ROS 2, has been redesigned …

Using the latest industrial robot technology, the collaborative robot (cobot), industrial manufacturers work towards high-mix low-volume production systems that could satisfy a diversifying customer demand. As the utilization of the cobot’s potential depends on the dynamic interaction with operators, …

Robots have been found to be effective tools for programming instruction, although it is not yet clear why students learn more using robots as compared to receiving ‘traditional’ programming instruction. In this study, 121 nine- to twelveyear-old children received a programming training in pairs, in …

The estimation of the pose of a differential drive mobile robot from noisy odometer, compass and beacon distance measurements is studied. The estimation problem, which is a state estimation problem with unknown input, is reformulated into a state estimation problem with known input and a process noise …

The current configuration of the robotic stearate coating process only supports certain bead sizes, the rest is coated manually. The current configuration lacks capacity and requires a lot of maintenance due to the age of the used robots. To be able to support all bead sizes, increase the daily capacity, …

Who are you in the digital public sphere? Are you »a woman«, »a man« or a robot? Are you classified as »right-wing« or »left-wing«? Dutch researcher Miriam Rasch writes about how twisted alternatives for bodies and identities are created online. A translation of the essay was originally published in …
