Beyond humanoid precision.
A wrist-mounted correction module bringing industrial precision to humanoid robots.
An ETH Zurich Focus Project at the Advanced Manufacturing Lab
Challenge
Why now
Humanoid robots are becoming affordable and are starting to appear in industrial environments. Calibration alone improves a humanoid's accuracy to a few millimetres, still far from what welding and other manufacturing tasks demand.
That is the gap Akribis addresses.
Project
Coarse from the robot, fine from the tool
Our correction module, mounted at the humanoid's wrist, compensates the remaining error directly at the tool – fast, stiff and lightweight. The humanoid gets close. Akribis gets it right.
