This is commonly done using the Servo library in Arduino. To sweep a servo with an Arduino, connect the servo's VCC (red wire) to 5V, GND (black/brown) to GND, and signal (yellow/white) to a PWM-capable pin (e.g., Pin 9). Use the Servo library to control movement. The code below gradually moves the servo from 0° to 180° and back in a loop.
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.
Articulated robot: Used for assembly operations, diecasting, fettling machines, gas welding, arc welding and spray-painting. It is a robot whose arm has at least three rotary joints. Parallel robot: One use is a mobile platform handling cockpit flight simulators. It is a robot whose arms have concurrent prismatic or rotary joints.
Unimate 500 PUMA (1983), control unit and computer terminal at Deutsches Museum, Munich PUMA arm at NASA. 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.
Robotic surgery involves the use of less-invasive surgical methods, which are “procedures performed through tiny incisions”. [1] Robots use the da Vinci surgical method, which involves the robotic arm (which holds onto surgical instruments) and a camera. The surgeon sits on a console where he controls the robot wirelessly.
Data and program usually reside in separate sections of the robot controller memory. One can change the data without changing the program and vice versa. For example, one can write a different program using the same Jig1 or one can adjust the position of Jig1 without changing the programs that use it.
A prototype Project Gemini joystick-type hand controller, 1962. In the 1960s the use of joysticks became widespread in radio-controlled model aircraft systems such as the Kwik Fly produced by Phill Kraft (1964). The now-defunct Kraft Systems firm eventually became an important OEM supplier of joysticks to the computer industry and other users.
Visual servoing, also known as vision-based robot control and abbreviated VS, is a technique which uses feedback information extracted from a vision sensor (visual feedback [1]) to control the motion of a robot. One of the earliest papers that talks about visual servoing was from the SRI International Labs in 1979.
