Features and Benefits

Is a high reliability, high accuracy multi-mode robotic arm system that is used to simulate big, sophisticated and complicated mechanical arm motions. IT-ROBOT combines the outstanding motion control technology with advanced educational concept and fulfills both the industrial needs as well as the education and research needs in motion planning and industrial system design.

IT-ROBOT is a comprehensive intelligent robotic system which makes it being so unique. It not only includes a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm but also equips with controller box, driver box and motion control models, as well as model building instruction which are based on the worldwide leading engineering control technology provider MathWorks® and its product family, MATLABR & SimulinkR. The seamless integration of 6DOF robot and the advanced control algorithm, models and control modeling guidance enables the users easy to program, simulate and implement their control theory in a flash without hand coding by using C or VB results in saving lots of time and cost.

Robots have become important over a wide range of applications--from manufacturing, to surgery, to the handling of hazardous materials. Consequently, it's important to understand how they work, and what problems exist in designing effective robots. Motion control model set up guidance make the IT-ROBOT being a terrific simulation and experimental platform for robotic arm teaching and training.

High Reliability

• IT-ROBOT is built on standard industrial mechanical arms with a high degree of reliability that enables to simulate large work and complicated mechanical robot arm locomotion.
• The six degree of freedom are base rotation, single plane shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, an optional gripper, and optional wrist rotate.
• High speed movement./li>

Simple to use

• The robot is controlled by the newly developed controller namedMicro-Box which integrates Simulink control design technology, logic control and motion control to achieve high speed, high accuracy control of the robot.
• Easy to communicate with a computer. Powerful communication capability allows IT-ROBOT to communicate relevant process data to a computer via ethernet or RS-232 through the Micro-Box.
• Detailed model set up manual for motion control and standard teaching/training instruction.

Easy to Build Your Own Control Models

• Based on Simulink software, the world leading user friendly environment for control design, real-time control and automation system development.
• Intuitive user interface, users can control robot arm, change the angle as well as the position via PC directly.
• Allow users to build their own control theory and models easily, no need to construct extra hardware environment.
• One single and simple platform to develop control algorithm, create models, simulate, adjust and create control theories.

Agile, Real-Time and Multi-Functional

• Driven by servo motor (PM DC motor), with high precision.
• IT-ROBOT provides multi-axis motion capabilities via using the position feedback and close-loop control, such as curve-dynamic motions and linear motions etc.
• Equips with Micro-Box(controller) and detailed Simulink control models, allow users to customize and adjust the control program and models in real-time.

Comprehensive Robot Arm Modeling System

IT-ROBOT is a complete intelligent control system which integrates two parts ofmechanic robot arm and control systems.

In summary, IT-ROBOT is an affordable structure to deliver fast movement and high precision and repeatable position. Moreover, it is a fully customized intelligent robotic system allows users to development their own models and systems in real-time.

Structure

IT-ROBOT is an Intelligent Robotic Arm System with Four Parts :

Controller

Micro-Box is an affordable and robust platform for rapid control prototyping applications. Developed by TeraSoft Inc, a leading professional engineering solutions provider based in Taipei, Taiwan, Micro-Box works seamlessly with the MathWorks family of products including MATLAB®, Simulink®, xPC Target™ and Simulink Code™, enabling engineers to model physical systems and execute them in real-time under harsh environmental conditions.

Micro-Box is also a rugged, high-performance, industrial PC with no internal moving parts. The product supports all standard PC peripherals including video, mouse, and keyboard. Micro-Box provides IT-ROBOT the agile, real-time and fast customized functionality. Micro-Box is the standard equipment of IT-ROBOT, it is also available for extra procurement.

Driver Box

• With four H-Bridge Driver IC, affords to control eight motors maximum.
• Peak output current for each axis is 1.2A

Robot Arm

IT-Robot teaches the basic robotic sensing and locomotion principles, providing users to test motor skills, as users build and control the arm. Users can command this system with its controller, Micro-Box, to move an object in a defined space. For the educators and hobbyists, the IT-ROBOT model examples and modeling instruction manual, as well as Simulink interface(optional) are very useful tools.

Degree-Of-Freedom

• 6-axis totally, 4 of them are controlled by Micro-Box. Wrist rotate and gripper are optional.
• DC motors, 2 of them are connected to the same axis of bicep.
• Each motor has a potential meter to indicate the angular position of the motor.
