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.
