Jevaroo is a 8 degree of freedom robotic arm on a movable platform. Jevaroo empowers people with a disability and seniors and saves carers’ travel time and costs.
With Jevaroo's 8 degrees of freedom, Jevaroo can travel forwards and backwards, side-to-side, and rotate on the spot. Jevaroo's neck allows for its limb to be angled at different heights, and Jevaroo's limb motors allow for the arm to adjust and hone in carefully to interact with objects.
Allows you to do tasks for yourself, by yourself, giving you freedom and independence in your home and in your life
Reduce informal care needed, leading to greater quality of life for everyone in the household
Reduce formal carer hours needed, by being able to do simple tasks yourself, freeing your carer up to tackle bigger tasks
Jevaroo can perform many tasks.
Community-driven development
The base of Jevaroo is weighted with three heavy batteries, two large stepper motors and two plates of steel to provide the robot with a low centre of mass to help counter balance any pulling or pushing forces through the limb, and any movements at the robot's end effector. This makes Jevaroo sturdy and stable, no matter what the robot interacts with or encounters.
The base uses omni wheels, giving it holonomic drive, meaning it can move backwards and forwards; sideways like a crab, and rotate on the spot.
The base can travel forwards and backwards for an unlimited amount of time.
The base can travel sideways - both ways for an unlimited amount of time.
The base can rotate on the spot, with no turning circle
Neck movement range of 25cm.
The neck's vertical movement enables Jevaroo's entire limb to reach up and down to manipulate objects, greatly increasing Jevaroo's capabilities.
Maximum horizontal reach of 110cm
Maximum vertical reach of 170cm
Jevaroo has impressive horizontal and vertical reach, allowing it to reach shelves that are high up, as well as pick up objects off the floor.
There are three joints along Jevaroo's limb which allow the robot to perform a wide range of complex movements.
Maximum elbow rotation range of 15 degrees above horizontal and 50 degrees below horizontal
Maximum arm rotation range of 45 degrees above horizontal and 50 degrees below horizontal
Maximum effective grip diameter of 15cm
Maximum hand rotation range of 15 degrees above horizontal and 45 degrees below horizontal
Jevaroo's robot hand is padded, with a large opening range, making it versatile enough to grip a number of everyday items including door handles, cups, plastic wrappers, aluminum cans, water bottles, and more!
Jevaroo is able to lift relatively heavy loads. All motor and joint components of the robot have been optimized to safeguard against failure due to unorthodox loading configurations
Maximum Grip Strength of 2.5 Nm.
Maximum Lift on Closest angle of 2.32 Kg
Maximum Lift on Furthest angle of 1.32 Kg
Maximum Shoulder Loading of 9.6 Kg
Maximum Elbow Loading of 1.59 Kg
Maximum Arm Loading of 4.84 Kg
Maximum Hand Loading of 2.25 Kg
Maximum Wrist Loading of 0.33 Kg
Jevaroo's movement speeds have been designed to enable it to complete the tasks it is meant to do while maintaining prime emphasis on safety of operation and ease of use.
Base maximum forward and backward speed of 0.2m/s or 12m/m.
Base maximum rotation speed of 20 rev/min.
Hand joint rotation speed of 7.5 rev/min.
Elbow joint rotation speed of 1.57 rev/min.
Shoulder speed of 0.01875 m/s
Arm rotation speed of 1.38 rev/min
Wrist rotation speed of 3.34 rev/min
Jevaroo’s batteries are rechargeable and are capable of powering Jevaroo for 8 hours before needing to be recharged.
Jevaroo weighs 45 Kg.
Jevaroo may be controlled by a person in the same room over Bluetooth or by a carer in another location via wifi in order to do chores or personal tasks around the home or away from home - getting drinks, opening doors, and carrying items.
From your computer
anywhere in the world
Like a video game -
guiding Jevaroo is
fun and intuitive
May be used around the home
putting independence back
in their hands
Jevaroo may be controlled from
anywhere in the world
to lend a hand in the home
If you are thirsty, Jevaroo can serve you a drink
Independent twin linear actuators allow Jevaroo to pick up things from the floor and put them into the bin
Heavy doors can be pushed open by Jevaroo due to the strength of its drive motors
360 degree hand and base rotation combine to allow Jevaroo to grip a door and swing it shut
Jevaroo is stable enough to pour a glass of water without spilling
A full drink is easily within Jevaroo's loading limits
"These will be great for those clients who don’t want that 24/7 care. We’ve got quite a few clients who they just get sick of someone always having to be there they want to be alone - Those days (of being alone) are gone for them."
"It's definitely a big improvement. Now it's time to use your imagination. You can use it around the house! They're quite ideal to put in the house or your office to start to explore it more and more."
"I was always trying to steal my brother's chocolates, so it's good to know this can reach to that height. I used to use the broom and knock it down and catch it!"
We filmed a documentary with Al Jazeera English while we were in the process of creating Jevaroo.
