YuMi - IRB 14000
YuMi is specifically designed to meet flexible and agile production needs of the consumer electronics industry. The robot has equal application in any small parts assembly environment thanks to its dual arms, flexible hands, universal parts feeding system, camera-based part location, lead-through programming, and state-of-the-art precise motion control.

Overview
The robot has equal application in any small parts assembly environment thanks to its dual arms, flexible hands, universal parts feeding system, camera-based part location, lead-through programming, and state-of-the-art precise motion control.
YuMi can operate in very close collaboration with humans thanks to its design. It has a lightweight rigid magnesium skeleton covered with a floating plastic casing wrapped in soft padding to absorb impacts. YuMi is compact, with human dimensions and human movements.
If YuMi senses an unexpected impact, such as a collision with a coworker, it can pause its motion within milliseconds, and the motion can be restarted by pressing play on a remote control. YuMi also has no pinch points so that nothing sensitive can be harmed as the axes open and close.

Virtual knife: Precise treatment of tumors and metastases with robots
After the introduction of radiotherapy, the use of metallic knives in the field of tumor treatment decreased. Now the knife has been experiencing a revival for several years. Yet, the knife in question is not a physical instrument, but a virtual one.
In a recent project, Professor Edward Adelson and Sandra Liu — a mechanical engineering PhD student at CSAIL — have developed a robotic gripper using novel “GelSight Fin Ray” fingers that, like the human hand, is supple enough to manipulate objects.
