The Role of Mechanical Engineering in Advanced Robotics
Discover the profound impact of mechanical engineering on robotics through the expertise of Rob Munnig Schmidt. This presentation explores three essential areas: sensing and actuation, focusing on tactile and agile haptics; motion system design, highlighting mechatronics; and multibody dynamics. Key challenges such as contamination and reliability are addressed, along with innovative solutions like haptic robots for micro assembly that provide precise tactile feedback. Join us to learn about industry collaborations and cutting-edge research with TUDelta, BME, and DCSC.

PME – The Ultimate in Mechanical Engineering Rob Munnig Schmidt The role in robotics
Three basic useful areas for robotics • Sensing and actuation: tactilily and agility, haptics • Motion system design (Mechatronics) • Multibody dynamics
Tactile sensing (Staufer) Research on interfacing from micro to macro world. Challenge: Contamination, reliability
Motion systems and actuation (Munnig Schmidt)
