The New Generation of Robots
summary
Argues that true robot ubiquity hinges on physical manipulation, not just AI, and shows a collaborative arm called franca with 7 degrees of freedom and senses down to one Newton. Demonstrates browser-based, drag-and-drop apps plus a haptic pilot for live teaching: memorized points, speed/acceleration tuning and collision thresholds. Live USB insertion demo succeeds after lowering acceleration. Presents a school curriculum (pilot 2017, public showcase in Hannover) to train “Robo natives” and plans broader rollout.
