ELECTRONICS The Electronics Interface Controller Adapter of the RAP-6 connects through any USB port of your PC, so there is no need to open your computer. It works with laptops too, and almost any PC will do. The computerinterface is small in size and rests on the robot arm base. It turns commands from your computer into control signals for the six servos. The interface also has two on/off outputs that can supply 150 milliamps of drive current for LED's, relays, solenoids, etc. Also included are 0 to 5 volt analog sensor inputs and an 8-bit A/D converter as well as simple on/off switch-closure inputs. A low-voltage wall-mounted power supply for the electronics and servos is also included. HARDWARE AND MECHANICS Six servo motor are supplied. The servo torque is approximately 2.9 Kg-cm (40 oz-inches). Servo travel is approximately 160 degrees. Housing dimensions are about 40 mm x 20 mm x 36 mm and contain a servo motor, control electronics, positional feedback potentiometer and gear train. If servos are the muscles, then
"links" are the bones. The links, 18 in all, are made from our custom aluminum extrusion which is machined to fit the servos and then clear-anodized for finish and durability. Nylon plastic parts as well as specially designed servo clamps allow the user to mate servos to links in a variety of useful ways. Two construction bases are supplied, one with a built-in pivot post for arm-like constructions, and the other perforated for general breadboarding using servo clamps. The set comes with a parallel-jaw gripper/wrist assembly. If your construction needs a gripper, this assembly mates with two servos to grip and turn. SOFTWARE The Robotic Control Software is designed so that users have the best of both worlds. In Teach mode, you can interactively teach your robot complete sequences of motions without typing: the move commands are typed in automatically. In Edit mode, you can edit, cut, and paste sequences, add comments, and execute lines or blocks causing the robot to run whole sequences or single moves. Accelerations and max speeds are adjustable for each axis, allowing exploration of important control themes. Robot programs, called "scripts program", can be saved and then recalled later. There is also an additional layer of software for advanced users, which allows
