Robotics is a rapidly growing and exciting field that spans most areas of science and engineering
A typical robotics research platform that NeuroRobotics would design and manufacture incorporates many electronic, mechanical and software subsystems that interact tightly within a continually changing and uncertain environment. This complexity poses considerable technical and commercial challenges relating to design flexibility, development time, required skills and cost.
This case study (PDF) explains these challenges and describes how the RS Embedded Development Platform (EDP) helped NeuroRobotics to construct a customer specific robot by:
- Saving the cost of purchasing multiple manufacturer specific development kits
- Saving the time and cost of constructing application circuitry
- Easing the integration of unfamiliar and new technologies
The robot they have recently developed using the RS EDP is to be used in hazardous environments, like bomb disposable. The arm mimics human hand and arm movements and swivels a full 360 degrees.
