The PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly, or Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm) is an industrial robotic arm developed by Victor Scheinman at pioneering robot company Unimation. Initially developed by Unimation for General Motors , the PUMA was based on earlier designs Scheinman invented while at Stanford University based on ...
Open source robotics means that information about the hardware is easily discerned, so that others can easily rebuild it. In turn, this requires design to use only easily available standard subcomponents and tools, and for the build process to be documented in detail including a bill of materials and detailed ('Ikea style') step-by-step building and testing instructions.
The Kilobot placed first in the roaming category of the 2012 African Robotics Network $10 Robot Design Challenge, which asked engineers to create low-cost robots for educating children in developing countries. [5] The Kilobot was created for the purpose of making a cheap swarm-bot more affordable to the general public.
This is a list of open-source hardware projects, including computer systems and components, cameras, radio, telephony, science education, machines and tools, robotics, renewable energy, home automation, medical and biotech, automotive, prototyping, test equipment, and musical instruments.
Jasmine [23] is a swarm robotic platform which was used in many swarm robotic researches. [3] Swarm of open-source Jasmine micro-robots: Kilobot: distance, light: vibration, 1 cm/s: 3.3 cm: 3 - 24 h: Harvard University, USA [24] [25] Kilobot [26] is a relatively recent swarm robotic platform with novel functions such as group charging and group ...
The SCARA robot concept was inspired by the presentation of the SIGMA robot for assembly by A. d'Auria at the 7th International Symposium on Robotics in Tokyo, in October 1977. This presentation had a significant impact on engineers in Japan studying assembly automation, prompting Hiroshi Makino to begin working on the SCARA robot design ...
Lanner L-SIM Server - Java-based simulation engine for simulating BPMN2.0 based process models. MADYMO – automotive and transport safety software developed by Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research; Maple - a general-purpose computer algebra system developed and sold commercially by Waterloo Maple Inc.
VGR is rapidly transforming production processes by enabling robots to be highly adaptable and more easily implemented, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of fixed tooling previously associated with the design and set up of robotic cells, whether for material handling, automated assembly, agricultural applications, [1] life ...
