RoDyMan
Have you ever thought about the complexity of making pizzas? Stretching the dough, tossing, seasoning, baking with dynamic turning. It is a real art. A robot – named RoDyMan – will soon have the required dexterity to reproduce this gastronomic choreography. This original and challenging idea was born in the mind of a leading scientist in robotics, Prof. Bruno Siciliano, and is funded by the European Research Council (ERC)
RoDyMan – the acronym for Robotic Dynamic Manipulation – is a service robot that will be able to mimic complex human tasks with a level of dexterity and mobility never seen before. “The manipulation of non-rigid, deformable objects – food or clothes in our daily lives, soft tissues such as muscles and skin in medical operations – has not been much investigated so far and offers an important challenge to the robotics community”.
