SOMA (Grant Agreement No. 645599): Soft Manipulation (SOMA) is the key for the development of simple, compliant, yet strong, robust, and easy-to-program manipulation systems. SOMA explores a new avenue of robotic manipulation, exploiting the physical constraints imposed by the environment to enable robust grasping and manipulation in dynamic, open, and highly variable contexts... AAIP: Assistive robots have the potential to provide support for a range of care-related tasks such as physical and social assistance, physiotherapy and rehabilitation. As part of an Innovate UK funded project, CHIRON, the project team have developed a prototype modular overhead/ceiling robotic system that can provide physical and cognitive assistance to frail older adults. This demonstrator project is investigating and evaluating the safety, regulatory and requirements of close proximate human-robot interaction (HRI) in unstructured domestic environments. It is utilising the CHIRON robotic system within the..
