S³ Care-O-bot 4 (2018) by Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart. The S³ project (Safety Sensor technology for Service robots) equips this buff Care-O-Bot 4 with additional radar, head-mounted cameras, and soft compliant arms that enable it to adapt to the humans around it. "For this purpose, Care-O-bot® received 4 new arms specifically for collaborative use. They are particularly padded and could stop automatically when touched. A new swivel and tiltable head unit ensures a safe all-round view. The robot was in use for the tests for two weeks, retrieved drink bottles from the residents' rooms several times and brought them to the station kitchen. There the staff filled them up and the robot brought the full bottles back. "The practical tests are extremely valuable to us," explains Florenz Graf, research assistant at Fraunhofer IPA and responsible for the tests. »We learn things here that do not matter under laboratory conditions, but are very important for the actual use.« … The nurses perceived the robot as safe and were not afraid of it. However, they wanted the robot to do its tasks faster." – Fraunhofer IPA, Improved security for service robots.
