  Cosero

  Cognitive service robot Cosero

Our cognitive service robot Cosero became operational in Fall 2010. Cosero has an eight-wheeled omnidirectional base (12 DOF), a movable trunk (2 DOF), two anthropomorphic arms (7 DOF each), and a movable sensor head (2 DOF). Its arms are twice as strong as the ones of Dynamaid. The robot is equipped with four laser scanners, two cameras, a time-of-flight camera, a directional microphone, and distance sensors in the hand.

  Dynamaid

  NimbRo@Home robot Dynamaid

Our domestic service robot Dynamaid was constructed for the RoboCup 2009 @Home competition, which took place in Graz. Dynamaid has an eight-wheeled omnidirectional base (12 DOF), a movable trunk (2 DOF), two anthropomorphic arms (7 DOF each), and a movable sensor head (2 DOF). Together with Robotinho, Dynamaid won the innovation award. Our team Nimbro@Home came in third in the overall ranking. We also reached the second place in the @Home league of RoboCup German Open.

  Robotinho

NimbRo TeenSize 2006 robot Robotinho with expressive head

NimbRo TeenSize 2006 robot Robotinho

Robotinho has been equipped with an expressive head, movable cameras, a laser scanner, and ultrasonic distance sensors. It is used to investigate intuitive multimodal communication with humans in a museum tour guide scenario. The robot has 40 DOF: 25 DOF in the body and 15 DOF in the head. Robotinho is 110cm tall and weights about 6kg. Since 2009, Robotinho moves on an eight-wheeled omnidirectional base and competes in the RoboCup@Home league. 

The robot's name was chosen in a public vote organized by ZDF.
Robotinho kicked penalties at the RoboCup-Event in Magdeburg, and at Roboludens in Eindhoven.
It participated in the TeenSize class of the Humanoid League at RoboCup 2006 in Bremen, where it reached the Penalty Kick final.
Robotinho conducted The 12 Chellists of The Berlin Philharmonic in the Q110.
It also demonstracted its soccer skills at the
Wissenschaftssommer (science summer) in Munich, and at the Science Days at Europa-Park Rust

We intend to use the communication skills of Robotinho in the RoboCup@Home league.

  Paul, Franz, and Gerd

  NimbRo 2006 KidSize robot Paul

Paul, Franz, and Gerd are the KidSize robots that we built for the RoboCup 2006 Humanoid League competition in Bremen. The robots are 60cm high and have a total weight of about 2,9kg. Their 20 joints are driven by intelligent actuators. They are equipped with a Pocket PC, two wide-angle cameras, and an attitude sensor.

At RoboCup 2006, the robots won the Penalty Kick competition. They reached the final in the 2 vs. 2 soccer games and scored in the passing challenge and in the rough terrain challenge. In the oberall Best Humanoid ranking, our KidSize robots came in second. 

Paul, Franz and Gerd played demonstration games at the open house in Dagstuhl, at the Wissenschaftssommer (science summer) in Munich, and at the Science Days at Europa-Park Rust

Gerd was demonstrated at ASAI50 in Ascona.
