|
5 Axis Articulated
Educational Robotic Arm
|
|
EduBot 250 is a five-axis articulated robotic arm
designed to teach the industrial robot technology in the simplest
and most entertaining way. It connects to the serial port of your
computer and is controlled via Robotica Control Software. Full
command protocol is also supplied for software developers who would
like to control EduBot 250 from their own control software.
Additional on board analogue/digital inputs and digital outputs
allow EduBot 250 to be interfaced with other devices to form a
sophisticated robotic system.
EduBot 250 is fully modular and can easily be mounted on to mobile
vehicles as well as used as stand-alone.

Mechanics
The body is made of acetal and the arm links are made of anti-static
PVC sheet. Optional Steel Base provides stability to the arm. All
the axes are driven by R/C servomotors. Fully modular mechanical
design also means that EduBot 250 can be mounted on virtually any
surface as well as being used as a stand alone robotic arm. |

Electronics
The heart of the EduBot 250 is Robotica R/C
Servo Controller II. With two analogue inputs, four digital
inputs and three digital outputs, it can easily be interfaced with a
wide range of external devices. It is fully addressable and up to
four robots can be controlled from one PC (subject to available
comports). |

|
Programming
EduBot 250 is controlled by the Robotica
Control Software, supplied free with the robot. Full command
protocol is also supplied for software developers who wish to
control EduBot 250 from their own control software.
Robotica Control Software features include:- |
|
- The robot can be controlled either manually or through a
program sequence.
- All analogue/digital input and digital output states can be
observed constantly and controlled by a mouse click on the
screen.
- Different configuration settings for different applications
can be created for immediate recall, i.e. servo limits, park
position, labels, operational mode, etc.
- The robot is programmed by the use of easy-to-use and
efficient single-character commands.
- Programming can be carried out in either Design Mode or Record
Mode. In Record mode, any change you make on the screen controls
is automatically inserted in the text box as program code. You
may also edit and save these entries in Design Mode.
- A comprehensive Help Menu is incorporated within the software.
