Unique flying object: besides the extended flying time, the helium ball also guarantees safe human–machine interaction.
Both gripping and flying have long been a topic for the Bionic Learning Network. In the FreeMotionHandling, Festo has for the first time combined both areas. Look at this: Sphere Robot!
Free Motion Handling By Festo
The indoor flying object can manoeuvre autonomously in any direction, independently picking up and dropping off items where they are required.
Endless degree of freedom: the freely orientable helium ball enables the item being gripped to be set down in the widest range of positions.
Exact flying behaviour: the four vertical
steering drives are used to position
the helium ball precisely in all possible
directions.
Sophisticated drive concept: the four
horizontal propellers, together with the
helium ball, ensure the necessary uplift
required.
Flying assistance system for handling in mid-air
The handling system consists of an ultra-light carbon ring with eight adaptive propellers. In the middle of the ring sits a rotatable helium ball with an integrated gripping element. As a result, both man and machine can interact with each other easily and safely, opening up entirely new possibilities for the workplace of the future.
Festo’s Flying Sphere Robot Can Grab and Carry Objects
In this future, people could be supported by the spheres, using them as a flying assistance system – for example, when working at giddying heights or in hard-to-access areas.
Autonomous object detection: the
camera in the gripper enables the system
to identify objects and pick them up
safely.
Integrated camera technology: using
the camera on the outer sleeve, the handling
system detects its surroundings even
during the gripping process.
Intelligent monitoring: with its installed
infrared cameras, the indoor GPS
is used to pinpoint the ball in an enclosed
space.
Flying assistance system: conceivable application scenarios include working overhead, at dizzying heights or in spaces that are difficult to access.
