Primary customers are industrial safety agencies (like INAIL) and collaborative manufacturing firms. It is used to monitor worker ergonomics and prevent musculoskeletal injuries in shared human-robot workspaces.
ergoCub evolves the iCub research platform by adding distributed tactile skin across the entire chassis. It introduces the ability to monitor human muscular strain in real-time, allowing the robot to intervene and assist in collaborative industrial tasks.
Specifically designed to monitor worker strain and physically assist with heavy loads to prevent injury.
Focuses on reducing physical risk for human workers by taking over ergonomically challenging postures.
Features artificial skin that enables safe, physical "human-to-robot" contact for collaborative tasks.
