The proposed robot manipulator will be used for experimental study, algorithms verification, and for research projects with applications in biomedical engineering and rehabilitation. The robot manipulator will provide an articulated robot arm with powerful, multitasking controller. Typical applications for the robot manipulator include machine loading, dispensing, polishing, cutting, drilling, trimming, and a wide range of industrial applications. The arm’s tool flange allows easy mounting of a variety of end effectors, including grippers, dispensers, or deburring tools. The controller features include a true multitasking operating system, a sophisticated trajectory planner, multiple digital inputs and outputs, relay outputs, serial ports, an emergency stop button, and support for an teach pendant.
