Special tasks call for special robots. And sometimes it`s just fun to show what a robot can do. Here are a few examples from the world of robot systems.
Occubot- Seat-Testing Robot
The seat-testing robot tirelessly presses its ``OccuForm`` dummy again and again into the same seats, measures the forces and resistance, and registers the degree of wear.
The measuring system provides six measurement dimensions for forces and torques and ensures absolute accuracy. This provides the user with data about the actual forces and torques being exerted on the contact surface between the dummy and the seat. To adapt the overall system to a different seat, it is merely necessary to redefine the Base coordinate system.
Performance features:
-
Continuous adaptation of the forces and torques (every cycle) according to the degree of wear on the test object
-
Simple parameterization via special interfaces for endurance testing of all kinds
-
Ethernet interface to an external data acquisition system for saving all relevant test data required for advanced analysis and test logging (optional)
-
Many other process-specific features, such as an editor for simple definition of the Base coordinate system, ``Search and Hold`` function for constant forces, static load compensation, programmable test stops, and processing of multiple test objects, etc
Robocoaster- Passenger-Carrying Robot
Only the most reliable robots in the world can really move people. The world`s first passenger-carrying robot turns the world upside down and puts roller coasters in the shade.
In the unique ROBOCOASTER from KUKA Roboter, the advantages of the practically unrestricted freedom of motion and excellent dynamic performance of an industrial robot have been exploited in the leisure and amusement industry for the first time.

Wash-Down-Robot
With the KUKA wash down robot, KUKA now offers you a robot system which is specially equipped for tasks in sensitive areas, e.g. in the foodstuffs industry.
The KUKA wash down robot is superbly equipped for operation in compliance with strict hygiene requirements and that includes all of the necessary components such as the controller and the electrical system. It is based on the standard KUKA robot, with its proven track-record in industry spanning several decades, and its integrated Windows-based PC controller. For complex processing steps, it can optionally be equipped with integrated sensors and measuring systems and a complete system controller.
Performance features:
-
High repeatability and precision in continuous operation
-
Higher processing speed than any semi-automated or manual process
-
Greater output per hour with consistent quality
-
Higher quality compared with traditional methods
-
Optimal adaptation to changing production processes and seasonal variations
-
Reduced workload for employees and lower risk of injuries
-
Complex processing tasks are possible through the use of integrated sensors and measuring systems
-
Robots are available in a large variety of different sizes for a wide range of applications
