„Einen Robot to go, bitte!” – Mit dem leichten Getriebebaukasten von igus lassen sich neue Ideen im Bereich der Servicerobotik einfach und kostengünstig umsetzen. (Quelle: igus GmbH)

Köln, 3. Februar 2021 – Das Potenzial für die Servicerobotik ist enorm: In Küchen und Bars, in der Pflege, auf dem Acker oder in der Logistik helfen Leichtbauroboter, monotone oder nicht ergonomische Aufgaben zu automatisieren. Damit sich solche neuen Konzepte einfach und vor allem kostengünstig umsetzen lassen, stellt igus zur Hannover Messe einen neuen Getriebebaukasten für Cobots vor. Im Zentrum steht dabei das vollintegrierte Tribo-Wellgetriebe mit Motor, Absolutwert-Encoder, Kraftregelung und Controller.

„Wir befähigen Konstrukteure mit unseren Low-Cost-Automation-Lösungen kostengünstig in die Zukunft der Servicerobotik einzusteigen“, macht Stefan Niermann, in der erweiterten igus Geschäftsführung für den Bereich Low-Cost-Automation zuständig, deutlich. „Das eröffnet Raum für ganz neue Ideen im Bereich der Automatisierung: Roboter, die im Einzelhandel Kaffee ausschenken oder zuhause die Spülmaschine ausräumen können. Cobots, die in der Pflege eingesetzt werden, ebenso wie in der Industrie – und das alles made in Germany.“ Eine besonders wichtige Rolle spielen dabei die Getriebe, denn sie sind das Herzstück eines jeden modernen Roboters. Daher hat der motion plastics Spezialist igus im letzten Jahr eine neue Generation an Tribo-Wellgetrieben für die Bewegung an der 5. Roboterachse vorgestellt. Reibung und Verschleiß werden durch schmierfreie Tribo-Polymere optimiert. Der Einsatz von Kunststoffen ermöglicht eine äußerst kompakte Bauweise und eine kostengünstige Herstellung. Das drygear Wellgetriebe kann beispielsweise in der letzten Achse von Gelenkarm-, Portal- und Delta-Robotern vor verschiedenen Greifersystemen eingesetzt werden. Der neue Getriebebaukasten für Cobots, den igus auf der Hannover Messe 2021 zeigt, ergänzt nun das breite igus Angebot im Bereich der Low-Cost-Automation. Diese Plug&Play-Lösung hilft dabei, spannende Cobot-Ideen schnell in die Tat umzusetzen, ganz ohne sich Gedanken zur Leistungselektronik machen zu müssen.

Vollintegriertes Wellgetriebe für Low-Cost-Cobot-Anwendungen
Der Getriebebaukasten besteht aus Tribo-Wellgetrieben in den Größen 80 und 105 mit integriertem Motorcontroller, Kraftregelungselektronik, Absolutwert-Encoder und Motor. Im Getriebe kommen Tribo-Wellgenerator und Tribo-Flexring mit Außenverzahnung sowie ein Außenläufer Brushless DC Motor zum Einsatz. Auf Basis der Getriebe lässt sich mithilfe von Verbindungselementen ein individueller Roboter konstruieren, dank der zusätzlichen elektronischen Komponenten auch als Cobot. „Wir sehen für unsere leichten Kunststoff-Wellgetriebe Marktchancen in Robotern, die komplett unter 8kg wiegen“, stellt Alexander Mühlens, Leiter Low-Cost-Automation bei igus, heraus. „Denn bei der Robotik in der Low-Cost-Automation ist neben der Traglast und einem günstigen Preis immer auch das Eigengewicht wichtig. So lassen sich leichte Roboter einfacher transportieren und effizienter auf fahrerlose Transportsysteme, auf 7. Roboterachsen oder in naher Zukunft sogar an Drohnen einsetzen.“ Das geringe Gewicht ist auch beim Einsatz in Cobots ein deutlicher Pluspunkt, denn kleinere Massen bedeuten auch kleinere Kräfte bei Kollisionen. Dank der elektronischen Komponenten im vollintegrierten Wellgetriebe sind MRK-Fähigkeiten möglich. Mittels Absolutwert-Encoder-Technologie können Kräfte wie auch Momente über den Motorstrom ermittelt und sicher begrenzt werden. Dafür setzt igus auf einen Doppelencoder, bei dem eine Messung vor und hinter dem Gelenk erfolgt, um Kräfte und Drehmomente zu erkennen und darauf reagieren zu können.

igus Angebot im Bereich Low-Cost-Automation wächst kontinuierlich
Auch in einer neuen Version des igus Serviceroboters ReBeL sollen die neuen vollintegrierten Wellgetriebe in diesem Jahr zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Robotergeneration wird dadurch wesentlich schlanker und durch die integrierten BLDC-Motoren mit Leistungselektronik günstig. Alexander Mühlens stellt heraus: „Unser Ziel ist es, den ReBeL bereits ab geringen Stückzahlen für 2.900 Euro auf den Markt zu bringen. Er soll 2kg tragen können, eine Reichweite von bis zu 650 Millimetern besitzen, sowie ein Eigengewicht von unter 10kg und eine Mindestlaufzeit von 2 Millionen Zyklen.“ Der Cobot-Getriebebaukasten ergänzt das breite Portfolio von igus im Bereich der Low-Cost-Automation – von Getrieben über verschiedenste Roboterkinematiken bis hin zur Steuerung. Low-Cost-Automation bedeutet dabei sowohl kostengünstige Einstiegspreise als auch nur so viel zu automatisieren wie notwendig. Dadurch amortisiert sich die Investition innerhalb weniger Monate. Der neue Getriebebaukasten wird auch auf RBTX.com verfügbar sein. Auf dem Online-Marktplatz können sich Interessenten ihre Roboterkinematik mit Vision-, Safety- oder Greiferkomponenten so zusammenstellen, dass sie ihren Anforderungen und ihrem Budget genau entspricht. Dabei gilt das Versprechen, das alles zusammenpasst, sowohl auf Hardware- als auch auf Software-Seite – gemäß des igus Ansatzes „Build or Buy“, einen Roboter selbst zusammenstellen oder eine fertige Lösung erhalten.

Boston Dynamics expands Spot® product line

NEW SELF-CHARGING ENTERPRISE ROBOT, REMOTE OPERATION SOFTWARE, AND ROBOT ARM ENHANCE SPOT’S CAPABILITIES FOR AUTONOMOUS SITE MONITORING


Waltham, MA – February 2, 2021 – Boston Dynamics, the global leader in mobile robotics, today announced an expanded product line for its agile mobile robot Spot. The new products include a self-charging Enterprise Spot, web-based remote operations software, Scout, and the Spot Arm. These additions extend Spot’s ability to perform autonomous, remote inspections and data collection, and enable the robot to perform manual tasks.

With more than 400 Spots out in the world, the robot has successfully undertaken hazardous tasks in a variety of inhospitable environments such as nuclear plants, offshore oil fields, construction sites, and mines. Customers have leveraged Spot’s advanced mobility, autonomy, control, and customizability to improve operational efficiency, enhance worker safety, and gather critical data. Spot’s new products are designed to enable customers to fully operationalize continuous, autonomous data collection on remote or hazardous worksites of any size, from anywhere they have access to their network.

Autonomy is critical to enhancing Spot’s value. In order to support long, remote deployments, Boston Dynamics is introducing Spot Enterprise, a new version of Spot that comes equipped with self-charging capabilities and a dock, allowing it to perform longer inspection tasks and data collection missions with little to no human interaction. In addition to the basic capabilities that the base Spot robot offers, Spot Enterprise leverages upgraded hardware for improved safety, communications, and behavior in remote environments. These upgrades expand the range that autonomous missions can cover, extend WiFi support, add flexibility to Spot’s payload ports, and enable users to quickly offload large data sets collected during the robot’s mission.

Pivotal to refining Spot’s value at scale is remote operation. Scout is Boston Dynamics’ web-based software that enables operators to control their fleet of Spots from a virtual control room. Operators can use Scout to take Spot anywhere a person could go on-site, allowing them to inspect critical equipment or hazardous areas from afar. The software is designed with a simple user interface to run pre-programmed autonomous missions or manually control the robot, to perform various tasks such as walking or posing the robot to capture images and thermal data of obscured gauges or pipes using the Spot CAM+IR thermal imaging payload.

Combined, the Spot Enterprise robot equipped with a Spot CAM+IR thermal imaging payload, Scout software, and Boston Dynamics’ premium support now create an out-of-the-box solution for asset-intensive environments. Operators can deploy this solution on site to proactively maintain and manage assets while maximizing worker uptime and improving worker safety.

In addition to launching products designed to make remote inspection safer and easier, Boston Dynamics is also releasing the Spot Arm, which enables users to act on data insights and perform physical work in human-centric environments. The arm is equipped to operate through both semi-autonomous actions and telemanipulation. It can manually or semi-autonomously grasp, lift, carry, place, and drag a wide variety of objects. It is also capable of manipulating objects with constrained movement and can open and close valves, pull levers and turn handles and knobs in coordination with its body to open standard push and pull doors.

“Since first launching Spot, we have worked closely with our customers to identify how the robot could best support their mission critical applications,” said Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics. “Our customers want reliable data collection in remote, hazardous, and dynamic worksites. We developed the new Spot products with these needs in mind, and with the goal of making it easy to regularly and remotely perform critical inspections, improving safety and operations.”

Interested parties can purchase Spot Enterprise, Scout, and the Spot Arm via Boston Dynamics’ sales team. For more information on these new offerings, please visit: www.bostondynamics.com.

Hyundai’s acquisition of Boston Dynamics can reinforce its position in smart mobility, says GlobalData

Hyundai Motor Group has agreed to acquire approximately 80% stake in American engineering and robotics design company Boston Dynamics from SoftBank Group for US$1.1bn.The move can fuel Hyundai’s long-term goal to become a smart mobility solutions provider by leveraging Boston Dynamics’ robots such as bipedal and quadruped equipped with 3D vision, navigation and advanced intelligence, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Venkata Naveen, Senior Disruptive Tech Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Hyundai’s move to acquire major stake in Boston Dynamics polarizes with many automakers competing to add their name to the me-too stack of autonomous carmakers by purchasing self-driving tech startups. Moreover, the strategic location of Boston Dynamics in the Silicon Valley gives an advantage to Hyundai to collaborate with tech startups as well as pool the right talent.”

‘In 2013, Google purchased Boston Dynamics to power its core robotic division and eventually create new robotics technologies for commercial applications. But the startup did not meet any commercial success and began losing talent after Google’s restructuring into Alphabet.

In 2017, SoftBank acquired Boston Dynamics to push its smart robotics capabilities. Apart from a few interesting videos of its humanoid and dog-like robots, there was no direct visible benefit to SoftBank.

Naveen continues: “Integrating Boston Dynamics’ robotic technologies with the automotive expertise can strengthen Hyundai’s position in smart mobility, especially in areas such as robo-taxis, personal air vehicles and last-mile mobility.”

The last two years saw both automakers and tech giants ramp up their bets on autonomous vehicles by acquiring startups into self-driving technology. Apple acquired Drive.ai, Amazon purchased Zoox and Daimler snapped Torc Robotics.

Naveen concludes: “In contrast, Hyundai’s acquisition of Boston Dynamics is the first in line of such strategies in the automotive industry to build a smart mobility ecosystem for faster, cheaper and sustainable transportation.”
