RAMMP: Robotic Assisted Mobility and Manipulation Platform

RAMMP​

Robotic Assisted Mobility and Manipulation Platform

Primary investigator Dr. Jorge Candiotti

The RAMMP system will advance the design of powered mobility and manipulation devices by improving their function, obstacle detection and negotiation and seamless integration with robotic arms for more effective object interaction. Its real-time 360° environmental awareness and adaptive control features will allow users to navigate complex environments with enhanced capabilities, confidence and safety.

RAMMP will integrate advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, a novel operating system, and digital twin technology through the Robotic Assistive Mobility Manipulation Simulation (RAMMS) environment, a virtual platform that enables precise, safe and scalable testing and development within realistic simulated settings.
