A press release about this work from our University's Press Office is available here.
Reaction to our work has been very encouraging from various prestigious Science and Tech magazines and sites. We have added a Press page as many of those have done a very good job at explaining the potential and possibilities of hand-held robots.
If you are at ICRA 2015 in Seattle, please come and see us in session Cognitive Robotics, May 27th, 16:10-17:20 WSCC 609
Handheld robots, aim to share physical proximity with users but are neither fully independent as is a humanoid robot nor are part of the user's body, as are exoskeletons. The aim with handheld robots is to capitalize on exploiting the intuitiveness of use of traditional handheld tools while adding embedded intelligence and action to open up new capabilities.
Description
This page collects information on the designs we are creating for studying the novel concept of Cognitive, Cooperative Handheld Robots. Designs are offered for research purposes only and without any guarantee. They should be made and used by experienced and qualified researchers. Please cite our research papers if you use them.
