Abstract: Task-oriented design approaches for robotic applications concentrate on customizing robot kinematics, control systems, and overall design specifically to the tasks that the robot is intended to perform. Unlike generic robot design approaches, a task-oriented design method prioritizes optimization and adaptation based on the unique requirements of each task. A critical component of the Task-oriented design method is the detailed study and characterization of the task itself, which serves as a fundamental input to the design process. By formulating the design problem as an optimization that incorporates the task-specific inputs, the resulting robot design achieves a closer correlation with real-world tasks, offering a more precise and effective solution compared to traditional, more generic design methods. At Pprime Institute, the CoBRA team designs innovative mechanisms/robotics within these design approaches and performs scientific studies to customize robotics for specific applications. The talk will provide an overview of these robotic technologies and scientific studies performed with them to demonstrate the strong potential of task-oriented design approaches for robotic applications, such as medical ones.
