GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTER

The recent generation of DLR's light-weight robots bears the project name SARA - Safe Autonomous Robotic Assistant. This robot generation unites modern electronics and mechanics with innovative control approaches. Its goal is the functional enhancement of the output device robot to an interconnected sensor-actuator system in the factory of the future, which will be strongly characterized by digital supervision and control procedures... SARA is a torque controlled robot arm with seven axes and 12 kg payload. Its good foldability and short wrist axis allows an excellent usage of its large workspace and a good reachability from different sides - even for large workpieces. The precise torque sensors and the actuators optimized for high dynamics open up a wide range of applications and permit swift manipulations... The light-weight robot SARA demonstrates novel functionalities in force controlled robotics for a smooth human-robot collaboration. Industry 4.0 applications thereby become..
