The Novel Robot NICOL
30 June 2023
We introduce the novel semi-humanoid NICOL, the Neuro-Inspired COLlaborator. NICOL is a large, newly designed, scaled-up version of its well-evaluated predecessor, the Neuro-Inspired COmpanion (NICO). NICOL adopts NICO's head and facial expression display, and extends its manipulation abilities in terms of precision, object size and workspace size. Please find more information about NICOL in the paper here.
In the coming months we will publish NICOL in detail including software, CAD drawings, URDF model and Simulator model.
