WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.280 We are the manufacturer of grip modules for the industry, for the 00:05.280 --> 00:08.400 handling in the industry, in the tool machines and in the handling 00:08.400 --> 00:09.020 systems. 00:10.100 --> 00:15.380 In addition, of course, we have been thinking about how the grip is in 00:15.380 --> 00:15.920 the future. 00:17.160 --> 00:21.440 And we just see the trend in the machines that they are becoming more 00:21.440 --> 00:27.780 and more universal, that not only the same workpieces are handled 00:27.780 --> 00:31.720 again and again, but that very different workpieces are handled on one 00:31.720 --> 00:31.720 machine. 00:32.800 --> 00:37.600 And that's why it is of course close that one thinks about why Mother 00:37.600 --> 00:40.660 Nature has developed a tool as universal as the hand. 00:41.580 --> 00:47.480 And we have been thinking about what we need in a similar way in the 00:47.480 --> 00:47.840 technology. 00:48.420 --> 00:52.100 So we came to this development with the five-finger hand. 00:52.880 --> 00:58.240 This is a hand that is equipped with nine motors from the root of the 00:58.240 --> 01:02.800 hand and all the technology that is necessary to operate these nine 01:02.800 --> 01:03.280 motors. 01:04.560 --> 01:08.160 With these nine motors you can perform several functions, for example, 01:08.440 --> 01:14.980 the spreading of the finger, the reflexion of the thumb and the 01:14.980 --> 01:18.700 corresponding grip, also the precision grip, as it is called. 01:19.160 --> 01:24.800 The fingers are individually movable and so a total of nine motors can 01:24.800 --> 01:25.140 be controlled. 01:25.920 --> 01:32.020 The challenge is, of course, how can I build it together so compactly 01:32.020 --> 01:40.240 that everything has room in such a very compact structure? 01:40.580 --> 01:45.840 And secondly, the question that moves us technicians again is, if nine 01:45.840 --> 01:49.580 motors are built together in such a narrow space, how do you build it 01:49.580 --> 01:50.600 so that it doesn't overheat? 01:51.360 --> 01:56.240 So these are the questions that we have asked ourselves. 01:56.820 --> 01:58.500 What is the whole thing good for? 01:58.660 --> 02:04.320 So nowadays you will not be able to do any maneuvering tasks in the 02:04.320 --> 02:04.320 industry with it. 02:05.340 --> 02:09.780 But the idea is to investigate what is necessary for this to happen. 02:10.300 --> 02:12.340 So which software is necessary? 02:12.890 --> 02:18.840 What perception skills does a robot need to be able to access, to 02:18.840 --> 02:20.180 develop corresponding grip strategies? 02:21.220 --> 02:23.320 Which sensors are needed? 02:24.560 --> 02:27.840 And these topics, which may also have something to do with the 02:27.840 --> 02:31.640 communication between robot and human being, i.e. 02:32.140 --> 02:37.180 the depiction of gestures, so that you can talk, as we humans do. 02:38.220 --> 02:44.360 This has a certain intuition that you would like to expect from a 02:44.360 --> 02:47.100 machine when you come into contact with it. 02:48.140 --> 02:52.680 And if, for example, I want to practice the spread function, then I 02:52.680 --> 03:00.540 can also select it accordingly and spread or close the finger. 03:00.940 --> 03:04.220 And it works similarly with the fingers, for example. 03:04.560 --> 03:09.640 Here this hand is even more skillful than a human hand, because it has 03:09.640 --> 03:11.920 a single motor for the little finger. 03:12.880 --> 03:17.680 And if I move it here, that's something a human hand can't do without 03:17.680 --> 03:18.240 anything else. 03:25.400 --> 03:28.000 And I can also move the ring finger like this. 03:28.640 --> 03:32.780 The special feature of the index finger, for example, is that it has 03:32.780 --> 03:34.620 two motors integrated. 03:34.900 --> 03:39.660 So I can now bend and move the finger at the so-called distal joint. 03:43.580 --> 03:48.240 And if, for example, I want to practice the spread function, then I 03:48.240 --> 03:56.100 can also select it accordingly and spread or close the finger. 03:56.620 --> 03:59.780 And it works similarly with the fingers, for example. 04:00.100 --> 04:05.200 Here this hand is even more skillful than a human hand, because it has 04:05.200 --> 04:07.480 a single motor for the little finger. 04:08.480 --> 04:13.240 And if I move it here, that's something a human hand can't do without 04:13.240 --> 04:13.800 anything else. 04:20.880 --> 04:23.580 And I can also move the ring finger like this. 04:24.220 --> 04:28.340 The special feature of the index finger, for example, is that it has 04:28.340 --> 04:30.180 two motors integrated. 04:30.460 --> 04:35.160 So I can now bend and move the finger at the so-called distal joint. 04:39.360 --> 04:41.300 So I just showed that here. 04:43.480 --> 04:46.420 And it also works with the proximal joint. 04:46.800 --> 04:48.760 So that's the lower joint.
