The kinetic sculpture was created using a Kuka (KUKA model Kr180 R3100 K) industrial robot arm made of stainless steel with an exterior black coating. [2] The arm was modified by the addition of a shovel and a rubber squeegee at its end. [2] The arm functioned at a 360 degree radius and had full mobility through a programmable Kuka controller.
The team of researchers developed the arachno-bot as a means to improve pilot-controlled robotics. The arachno-bot’s name originates from the distinct shape of the robot, as its 8 legs resemble a spider’s. Each leg consists of a spider-inspired electro-hydraulic soft-actuated joint (S.E.S) which is the core of an arachno-bot.
An exhibit of the "Future Soldier" designed by the United States ArmyA powered exoskeleton is a mobile machine wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support, and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, allowing for sufficient limb movement, and providing increased strength ...
A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm; the arm may be the sum total of the mechanism or may be part of a more complex robot. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion (such as in an articulated robot ) or translational (linear ...
Robotics Design Inc. is a company that designs and builds modular robots, founded and incorporated in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1997. The company produces mobile robots, robotic manipulators and manual arms as well as custom solutions using modular robotic technology.
The 1961 Unimate installed at a General Motors factory differed significantly from George Devol's 1954 patented design. The Unimate was a hydraulically actuated programmable manipulator arm with 5 degrees of freedom. This contrasted with the simpler three-prismatic-link pick-and-place arm described in Devol's "Programmed Article Transfer" (PAT ...
The SCARA is a type of industrial robot. The acronym stands for selective compliance assembly robot arm [1] or selective compliance articulated robot arm. [2] By virtue of the SCARA's parallel-axis joint layout, the arm is slightly compliant in the X-Y direction but rigid in the Z direction, hence the term selective compliance. This is ...
All designs consist of two main components: the mechanical arm and the control system. These are typically interconnected by one or two large multi-conductor cables. When two cables are used, one carries power to the servo motors and brakes while the second carries the position feedback for each joint back to the control system.
