Who would not like to shout out generic human-level commands to a robot? AGI is not there yet, but agentic AI is already quite capable. But AI also needs a hand...
The assignment involves redesigning and testing the robot limb together with the electronic driver circuits, sensory systems, 20-sim based controller software, safety and error handling, testing etcetera. The limb in the picture is not practical due to multiple reasons. Impedance control would be a big plus, although this makes the motor selection and control more challenging.
Implementing some form of agentic AI could be an extension of this assignment, or a separate one. The results should be usable within the MPAI (Mechatronics and Physical AI) specialization of the MSc Robotics master.
