2 40 years later However... 2

3 is a joint initiative of 8 research groups of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel collaborating on the topic of Human-Centered Robotics Over 80 researchers Social Studies Human Physiology Rehabilitation Research Life Sciences Social Sciences Ageing studies BruBotics Robotics Engineering Computer Sciences (AI) Artificial Intelligence Industrial Engineers E-Health working across boundaries Electronics & Informatics 3

4 Our Vision Improve our quality of life through Human Robotics Social Robots Collaborative robots Self-healing robots Exoskeletons Bionic prosthetics Human-robot interaction Rehabilitation robotics Artificial Intelligence 4

5 Some examples of Human Robotics The need for more Human Robotics 5

6 Van D, D & D Robots are now mostly doing Dirty Dangerous Dull work Naar D, D, D & D Patrick Danau, CEO Audi Brussel: Robots gaan ons ook helpen met de 4 de D: Demografische veranderingen 2015: Gemiddelde leeftijd werknemers Audi Brussel: : 37% werknemers > 50 jaar 6

7 We could use some help Ageing 2040 Healthcare costs 2015 Eurostat. Health and safety at work in Europe ( ) Robots: the ultimate solution? The Amazon answer What you would expect: Robots picking goods from the shelves. What happens in reality: Robots bring the shelves to human pickers 7

8 Today robots are stupid and inflexible Excellent in structured and predictable environment Excellent for 1 specific task Tomorrow robots are smart and flexible 8

9 Still a long way to go... Robots and Humans... Robots excel in Speed Strength Precision Repetition Dangerous situations Humans excel in Dexterity Creativity Empathy Problem solving Collaboration 9

10 Bridging a gap Productivity Traditional robot GAP Human Robot collaboration Human Flexibility Collaborative Robots 10

11 Human Robot collaboration: collaborative robots (or cobots) A whole new type of industrial robot, introduced in 2009 by Universal Robotics Start-ups as UR and Rething Robotics are disrupting an oligopoly A cobot is robot that can safely and effectively interact with human workers while performing (simple) industrial tasks Goal: make humans and robots work closely together, and combine the benefits of robots with benefits of humans ABB s YuMi Rethink Robotics Baxter UR10 Imec.icon ClaXon imec.icon CLAXON 11

12 Flanders Make Ergo Eyehandler Create a dynamic workbench using Cobots, to optimize ergonomy and improve productivity Exoskeletons 12

13 De uitdaging Fysiek zwaar werk Ouder wordende arbeiders......die ook langer moeten werken Hoge kost absenteïsme Moeilijkheden bij rekrutering Exoskeletons Combineert de sterktes van de robot met de sterktes van de mens 13

14 Geen science fiction Eerste generatie industriële exoskeletons worden ontwikkeld Ekso Works, Amazon, Panasonic, Cyberdyne Exoskeletons 43 existing passive or active lower back support exoskeletons were already identified. Several are commercially available, including: TU Delft Spin-Off Used by BMW Spin-off fromeuresearchproject Berlekey Spin-Off. Passive, lower back Will be harder to purchase in EU New onmarket. Passive, modular Laevo Ekso Works German Bionics SuitX 14

15 Open vragen Hebben die dingen inderdaad een positief effect? Willen de arbeiders ze dragen? VUB sterke expertise met het bouwen van exo s Initiële focus op exoskeletons voor medische toepassingen IWT SBO MIRAD (KUL & VUB) EU FP7 BIOMOT (VUB) ALTACRO (VUB) EU FP7 CORBYS (VUB) EU FP7 CYBERLEGs EU H2020 CYBERLEGs++ 15
