Halodi Robotics Leverages Ansys Simulation to Develop Humanoid Robots to Safely Work Among People
/ Key Highlights
- Halodi Robotics used simulation through the Ansys Startup Program to reduce development time of humanoid robots by months
Ansys helped enable Halodi Robotics engineers to develop motors with enough power to lift heavy items while simultaneously being gentle enough to retrieve a laptop and hand it to a human colleague
Up until now, robotic machines have only been seen working in factories performing repetitive and precise tasks. With humanoid robots, the most significant difference is that they are capable of interacting with the world just like humans do. To be able to do so, safety is the most important factor for ensuring successful deployment. Halodi Robotics engineers used
Last spring, Halodi Robotics tested its robot EVE as an assistant to healthcare personnel at
"Safety must come first when designing a humanoid robot that will interact with and work among people. Our goal is to engineer a product that is passively safe, making sure that if everything fails, the robot is still harmless," said Bernt Øivind Børnich, chief executive officer at Halodi Robotics. "Simulating the design of powerful yet safe electric motor systems using
Halodi Robotics engineers used Ansys Motor-CAD simulation software to develop motors that mimic biological systems, such as human muscles. Synthetic fiber threads connected to actuators are driven by very lightweight, low-speed motors with very high torque. These motors provide the high power and low-energy interactions required by humanoid robots.
"We're amazed at what Halodi Robotics has been able to accomplish. With the help of
