5. 내 용 :
Mobile robotics has primarily studied mobility and coverage issues with
limited or no facility to interact with the environment. The number of
possible applications that only involve mobility is limited. Expanding a
system to include manipulation functions opens up the set of applications
tremendously. However the design of truly mobile manipulation systems also
poses several challenges in terms of control and integration. When operating in
domestic environments the challenges are significant also in terms of navigation
etc.

In this presentation we will discuss the design of a mobile manipulation
system for operation in a domestic environment. The system is composed of
a Segway RMP200 with a KUKA KR-5 Sixx manipulator on top. We will discuss
the overall system design, methods for object recognition, control of the
system and evaluation of different software systems for integration.
