Low Cost Automation
Why did we start with wire driven joints in the beginning of the robolink development? I would like to illustrate the basic bionic idea with this picture: Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!
In this case petri dishes shall be placed and displaced from a storage. We used our RL-D demo unit to show its ability for this task. The programming was done with our IME Software. As always, there is no inverse kinematics or path planning executed. The single positions have been teached. Vote Up +0 Vote Down […]
Here is another example of a “soft” application. In this case, I only programmed the START and the END position by “teach in”. 2 or 3 intermediate positions have roughly been teached (without any precision). The Robot arm does not know anything about “inverse kinematics”, circle mathematics and so on. The movement is possible, because […]
2 weeks ago I have had the opportunity to join the first international Symposium on SOFT ROBOTICS in Germany at the IPA Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart. Many researchers and users discussed about soft and “compliant” robots. What does it mean? In my understanding, “soft” robots act more like humans (or animals). Softness can be achieved by highly […]
We will present a new design for our robolink D joint arm concept at the AUTOMATICA trade show in Munich. Improvements (against HMI 2014 in April): – lean connection parts between the joints save weight and costs, – more dynamic movements, – 2 additional single axis (RL-D-20-001-MOT17-E) show the modular character of this product. I […]
