The Panda is one of the most advanced systems in the collaborative robotics environment. Originally inspired from the human arm the Panda robot is an ideal platform for many avenues of robotics research. The Panda has incredible torque sensitivity in all of its seven-axis. The gripper is sensitive with a continuous grasping force of 80N. The panda can be utilised for multiple applications without needing to change production layout. It excels at applications involving the optimisation of low-weight collaborative processes (for example picking, placing and testing. Full automation of any manual task is very achievable with this platform.

The Franka Control Interface (FCI) allows fast and direct two-way connection to the robot's arm and hand, making it ideal for researching control and motion algorithms.

technical Specifications:

• 7 Degrees of Freedom

• Weight: 18 Kg

• Payload Capacity: 3 Kg

• Reach: 850 mm

• Sensitive gripper with a continous grasping force of 70 N, and a stroke of 80 mm.

• Radius: 855 mm

Pepper is the first social humanoid robot capable of facial recognition and emotional recognition. This robot is optimised for interaction with humans and can interact via conversion or through the robot's touch screen. As an anthropomorphic robot, people interact with Pepper in very interesting ways, allowing for research into the underlying body language that humans use to communicate with each other. By researching these underlying communication modalities between humans and robots it is our aim to optimise social interaction between humans, and the robots that are becoming ever more present in all areas of life.

technical Specifications:

• 20 degrees of freedom for natural and expressive movements.

• Speech recognition and dialog for 15 languages.

• Perception sensors to recognise and interact with humans.

• Touch sensors, LEDs, and microphones for multimodal interactions.

• Bumpers, 2D/3D cameras, infrared sensors and an inertial unit for omnidirectional and autonomous navigation.

• Open and fully programmable platform.

The Dingo is a compact, lightweight indoor mobile robot, designed for research and education. The Dingo is well suited for a wide array of robotic applications, these include autonomous navigation, mobile manipulation and mapping. The Dingo is also fully customisable and can be tailored for specific purposes. It is compatible with a large range of third-party sensors and accessories, these include lidar, cameras, manipulators, etc. Due to the flexible mounting system, reconfigurable I/O and accessible onboard power, sensors and payloads can be easily integrated into the robot.

Kilobots are a low-cost, low easy use swarm robotic system. They can be programmed to perform useful actions by coordinating interactions amongst the individuals of the swarm. Inspired by social insects (such as ant colonies), in which the swarm can accomplish great tasks with simple individuals having limited functionality.

In the future, robotic swarms may tunnel through rubble to find survivors of natural disasters, monitor the environment and remove contaminants, assist in crop pollination, and self-assemble support structures in collapsed buildings. The kilobot has been designed to provide a physical research platform to understand the collective behavior of swarms and develop swarm behavior algorithms.

technical Specifications:

• Low Cost

• Small (33 mm diameter)

• Fine motor control (255 different power levels)

• Communication with neighboring Kilobots up to 7 cm away

• Neighbor-to-neighbor distance sensing

• Ambient light sensing

• RGB LED

• Rechargeable and amovible battery

• Simple manipulation, with one Kilobot controller hundreds of Kilobots can be programmed and controlled simultaneously.
