Arcol

The Arcol platform provides technical support for the short, medium and long term experimental developments carried out within the framework of Auctus' scientific and dissemination activities.

These technological developments are essentially software related in the context of human motion capture and real-time control of collaborative robots. Arcol aims at easing their implementation, deployment, documentation and support.

Implementations include:

• a software component for online estimation of the state of one or more human “subjects” of a collaborative robotics experiment; ǐsualization tool for replaying a number of simulated experiments;

• an integrating architecture allowing the simple addition of hardware components (sensors, robots,...) and the configuration of an experiment by describing the hardware components included, the nature of the treatments to be performed and the history files (logs) to be constituted.

To date the work done is:

• help and realization of an experimental setup for the study of the motor variability of a user ;

• assistance and realization of an experimental setup for the study of the interaction wrenches during a machining task of a piece of wood in an industrial context ;

• implementation and deployment of a method for using Inria integration tools for the team's code ;

• development of a solution allowing to simply interface the ROS framework with the Unity3D software, in a modular and easily deployable experimentation perspective.
