A Low-cost Mobile Manipulator for Industrial and Research Applications

Venator, Edward Stephen

Abstract Details

2013, Master of Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, EECS - System and Control Engineering.
ABBY is a mobile industrial manipulator, a mobile robot equipped with an industrial robotic arm. The goal in creating this robot was to demonstrate that a robust research platform for mobile industrial manipulation can be created quickly at low cost. This goal was achieved by leveraging commercially-available mass produced hardware and open source software. The resulting mobile manipulator incorporates a suite of commercially-available sensors and processing hardware to enable the robot to operate as an intelligent agent alongside humans. The robot demonstrated its abilities by performing simple navigation and manipulation tasks in a laboratory setting, and will soon be employed in research on autonomous kitting in industrial environments.
