What is its work envelope (how many degrees of freedom or flexible joints does it have)? evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593147 iCub has 9 degrees of freedom in each of it's hands, 7 degrees for the arms (including the wrist), and 8 degrees in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
iCub's legs and torso have 15 degrees of freedom. Its head has 6 degrees of freedom.]]> 2017-09-29 19:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593147 What task does the robot perform? What human function or task does this robot simulate? evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593295 iCub is a humanoid robot that can do many tasks. It can recognize objects, walk (not very well), crawl, and grab objects. It can also talk and respond to words and phrases.]]> 2017-09-29 19:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593295 Is the robotic end effector multi-functional? If so, what other tasks can it perform? evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593641 iCub's end effector isn't multi-functional. Its end effectors are all force-torque sensors.]]> 2017-09-29 19:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593641 How is the robot taught to perform its task? evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593699 iCub is taught to perform its tasks by either connecting actions with language, or first doing the action with the robot, then afterwards it can perform the task without assistance. You can also ask it where an object is and it will tell you, as shown in video 2.]]> 2017-09-29 19:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593699 What sensors does the robot have and how does the robot use these sensors? evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593752 iCub has force-torque sensors in its arms and legs. There are six and they are in its arms and legs. It uses them to measure and record the torque on a rotating system. Torque is a force that produces or tends to produce rotation.]]> 2017-09-29 19:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593752 Name some advantages and disadvantages of using a robot to complete this task. evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593886 iCub can be slow at normal human things. You also have to help it for some tasks, but iCub is also very intelligent. It can track items and it can also grab and point to them.]]> 2017-09-29 19:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593886 Describe the impact that this robot has had or could have on its intended audience. evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593932 iCub could, in the future, help with people who can't get around very well, like someone stuck in a wheelchair. It could also get to the point where it could possibly do household chores, such as laundry.]]> 2017-09-29 19:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593932 What type of jobs/careers did the creation of this robot provide for employment for people? evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593992 If iCub was sold more and it was more advanced, people could manufacture the parts for an iCub. ]]> 2017-09-29 19:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192593992 Predict and explain how this robot may be altered to perform more or different tasks in the future. evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192594057 iCub can possibly be altered to walk better, that would be great for the advancement of humanoid robots. It would help with how humanoid robots can walk and do different actions. It would be great for finding out the best way for robots to walk.]]> 2017-09-29 19:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192594057 evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192622566 2017-09-29 21:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192622566 Video evangeline_jimenez27 https://padlet.com/evangeline_jimenez27/iCub/wish/192622731 Sorry, it's in italian.
