Robot DE NIRO

Robot DE NIRO

This is a 200 kg dual-arm mobile manipulation robot that we affectionately call "DE NIRO" (Design Engineering's Natural Interaction Robot). It is the biggest robot in the lab and also the most user-friendly! It is based on a heavily modified Baxter robot with a mobile wheelbase, a liftable torso, bespoke hands, 3D LIDAR and many additional sensors.
