MRR-2 - Modular Reconfigurable Robot
Description
MRR-2 is an open architecture robot arm system. MRR-2 utilizes the latest technology, and is designed for industrial use, research, and educational purposes.
The MRR-2 features modular joints, modular links connecting the joints, and a pressure controlled gripper with force sensing. The robot can be programmed via a PC and DSP. The embedded control system architecture is distributed.
ESI offers single module joints (MRJ Series) and links (Links Series), as well as custom-made end effectors.
General
| Input connection ports for each joint | Two: bottom and side |
| Output connection ports for each joint | One: top |
| Usage | As pan, tilt, roll joint |
MRR-2 joints are controlled on the PC through RS232 and CAN ports.The harness extends through each link and onto the next joint’s driver. The PC also communicates with the DSP and Sensor through RS232 terminals.
The operational platform consists of manufacturer supplied CDs with tuning and testing programs. In addition, ESI provides custom software developed in Microsoft Visual Studio C++ containing an easy-to-access GUI. It can be used to control the movements of the MRR, display real time information such as speed and position, and other functions.
