Published purpose
The objective of this project is to reduce the dependency on manual labor, Canadian farmers are increasingly looking towards the automation of daily chores. To address this challenge, Exonetik proposes to develop a 6 DOF compliant magnetorheological (MR) robotic arm, that is designed to naturally adapt to highly unstructured environments, like human muscles. The proposed robotic system will enable a multitude of tasks that are notoriously difficult to automate, such as fruit and vegetable harvesting.
