3D simulation of the mobile manipulator "Little Helper" in DELMIA robotics

Uploaded on Apr 28, 2010


This video shows a 3D simulation of the mobile manipulator "Little Helper" (from the Department of Production, Aalborg University) performing continuous part feeding at the Danish pump manufacturing company Grundfos A/S. The application has to be implemented in a real world environment within 2010.

The 3D simulation has been carried in the software DELMIA Robotics.

The mobile manipulator "Little Helper" - First industrial demonstration

Published on Sep 11, 2012


This video shows the month 6 demonstration (early 2011) from the EU FP7 project TAPAS (Robotics-enabled Logistics and Assistive Services for the Transformable Factory of the Future) - a collaboration between Aalborg University and Grundfos A/S.

The mobile manipulator "Little Helper" carries out continuous part feeding at a real-world industrial production line at Grundfos in Bjerringbro, Denmark. The experiments were conducted over a period of three production days.
