Hi! Welcome to the TechCenter Mobile
Robotics here in KUKA headquarter in Augsburg.
My name is Michael Gerung. I'm the Product Manager
for mobile robots and I invite
you to the TechCenter. Please come on!
I show you around.
So this is our whole setup here. We have it all for visitors in
the TechCenter. That's two KMR iiwa mobile robots, one KMP 1500 -- that's a
platform -- and one big platform you see at the very end: that's our onmiMove platform.
All our mobile robots have three main things in common.
The one thing is very visible. That's omnidirectional wheels. Then the navigation
solution, so all platforms work with the
same navigation system. And also the
safety, so you see us walking around in
here because the vehicles themselves as well
as a robots are safe. Right here you see
our KMP 1500, which means KUKA Mobile
Platform, with a payload of 1500
kilograms, so enough to hold car bodies
body in white. Then we have here the KMR iiwa. That's also on a platform:
the KMP 200 with a 200-kilogram payload for the platform and naturally in addition to
just a normal platform you have here the robot arm who can pick up things and
store them there and also work with the
goods on the platform and move them away and
put them somewhere else. Then furthermore on the back side we have the mother of
all our mobile robots -- the mother because it was the first one. That's our omniMove platform.
We build it in sizes up to
34 meters long, up to a payload of 100 tonnes
and also with lifting devices up to six
meters height. In addition to the SLAM
navigation with the laser scanners we
have here the possibility to show that
we are also able to follow like here
optical lines, so we can also deal with
standard navigation systems.
With our second KMR iiwa in the TechCenter we have the possibility to show different
scenes and what I want to show you now
is the sensitivity of the robot. And we
use this sensitivity to control
the platform. So whenever I push the
robot in that direction the platform
will move in that direction and I push
the platform in that direction, then the platform will move in that direction.
If I push it downwards the
platform will turn. The other way around,
the platform will turn. So that's the
basics of our TechCenter. I thank you
for watching the movie and I am eager to
see you down here and answer all your
questions. Thank you very much.
