CAD solves cabling challenge for next generation robot

The human-symbiotic robot TWENDY-ONE has been researched and developed by Sugano Laboratory (headed by Professor Shigeki Sugano of Waseda University) and private-sector businesses. Professor Sugano is well known for his research in the area of arm and finger manipulations. In 1999, his team developed WENDY (Waseda ENgineering Designed sYmbiont) – a human-symbiotic robot that had dexterous hands with human-like fingertips and succeeded in breaking an egg flawlessly for the first time in the world. Professor Sugano’s team made full use of Pro/ENGINEER to develop TWENDY-ONE, a prototype of the new generation human-symbiotic robot based on the WENDY technology for supporting daily human activities.
