We will introduce the EuRoSurge Project, a coordinated action
aimed at developing a conceptual integration platform for Computer
and Robot Aided Surgery (CRAS) research and manufacturing,
identifying the key European players in surgical robotics and
cognitive sciences relevant to surgery, establishing ontologies,
architectures and roadblocks for CRAS. We will also show the main
projects (iSur, Safros, Active) in which the Robotic lab of the
University of Verona is involved, with some other partners of
EuRoSurge.

E07 (Auditorium): The Hybrid Gripper
The Hybrid Gripper is a new kind of robot hand and the first of
its kind in the world. The hand is a completely original invention
with a range of unique features: It's flexible, affordable,
customer adapted, and robust. The needs of the industry are the
fundamental basis of The Hybrid Gripper. The hand catches and
manipulates securely with a wide variety of physical objects (in
terms of weight, shape, surface, center of gravity, material, and
other aspects). At the same time, it is cost-effective to invest in
the hand, even when relatively few objects are to be handled in
many small series with a lot of variations. New customized hands
are quickly and easily produced to match specific requirements,
including quantity, size, and strength of the fingers and sensors.
All hands are molded in a durable material.

E08 (Auditorium): Intelligent Robots for Handling of Flexible
Objects
The aim of the INTERREG 4A project Intelligent Robots for Handling
of Flexible Objects (IRFO) is to analyze and handle deformable and
flexible objects, such as meat, by using robots. The exhibit will
demonstrate the equipment behind the project along with the
technologies developed and linked together in it. Furthermore, the
exhibit will present our approach to the peg-in-hole applications
described in this article.

E09 (Foyer): Intelligent trash cans
The intelligent trash can compresses its content of garbage,
making it able to contain five times as much. Through wireless
communication, the trash can signals automatically when it needs
emptying. To encourage and motivate the citizens to throw out the
garbage - instead of throwing it on the ground - the trash can
responds to those who use it with appreciative chomping sounds.

E10 (Auditorium): PARO & JACO
This versatile advanced manipulator arm, JACO, from the
Canadian-based company KINOVA is perfectly suited for robotic
research and applied in care of elderly. The robotic arm is made of
carbon fibre and uses harmonic-gear-motors to move silently and
smoothly. The robot's six degrees-of-freedom can rotate continually
and endlessly. PARO is a therapeutic robot baby seal that
has a calming effect on and elicits emotional responses from
patients in dementia care both at hospitals and in nursing homes,
similar to Animal-Assisted Therapy.

E11 (Auditorium): R3-COP - Resilient Reasoning Robotic
Co-operating Systems
R3-COP is an ARTEMIS-JU project running from 05-2010 to 04-2013
aimed at providing European industry with new leading-edge
methodology and technologies to enable production of advanced
robust and safe cognitive, reasoning autonomous and co-operative
robotic systems in different application domains at reduced cost in
terms of time and money. An important factor when designing these
robotic systems is being able rationally to handle a multitude of
design choices constrained by both quantitative and qualitative
requirements. To exemplify this, the exhibit will demonstrate a
simple software design decision-support tool able to capture an
end-user's functional preferences with respect to a new fictitious
robotic servant. These results are then presented versus economic
factors creating a foundation for making a rational design
choice.

E13 (Auditorium): Robotics for cognitive training of
people with dementia
In Denmark, the demography changes and there is an increase in the
number of people diagnosed with dementia. Many technologies already
exist to assist people suffering from dementia, but few of them
focus on slowing down the development of dementia. That is what
this project is about. The approach is to use a digital playground
that is actually a modular robotic system, consisting of a finite
number of embedded computers (satellites). Each computer has
various sensors, such as touch, accelerometer, temperature, light
etc. In this setting, different kinds of games can be constructed
and used for cognitive and physical training that will hopefully
slow down the development of dementia.

E14 (Foyer): Shadow Dexterous Hand
The Shadow Dexterous Hand is the most advanced commercial robot
hand in the world. With 20 degrees of freedom, position sensing on
every joint, and touch sensors in the fingertips, a Shadow Hand is
the closest robot Hand to the human Hand available. It provides 24
movements, allowing a direct mapping from a human to the robot.
This can give your robots unparalleled flexibility in manipulation
tasks.

E17 (Auditorium): Universal Robots
Universal Robots' products automate production processes
throughout the industry. The small and flexible robots
from
Universal Robots have been quick to gain a foothold on a global
scale. Small, medium-sized and large companies have discovered the
advantages of using these modern robots that can easily be moved
around in the production. The idea for a brand new generation
of industrial robots arose in 2003: Danish robot researchers
realised that the robot market was characterised by heavy,
expensive and complex robots made by engineers for engineers. Which
is why, in 2005, they decided to found Universal Robots with the
ambition of making robot technology (also known as robotics)
available to all companies. In 2008 the user-friendly robots were
fully developed. Ever since then, the robots from Universal Robots
have inspired great enthusiasm within the industry for many
reasons, not least because it costs so little to implement them
that they pay for themselves in no time.
