Overview
The interface module on the robot allows connectivity with a wide variety of end effectors, instruments and sensors. The controller enables to connect the robot in a number of ways and is adaptable for multiple application needs. There are multiple ways of controlling the robot, including bypassing the controller for direct access to each individual actuator with closed-loop control at 1kHz.
The Gen3 robot has built-in discrete 2D and 3D sensors for vision-based applications.
The robot has a built-in functionality using ROS, MATLAB or Simulink. It has an advanced programming environment in C++ and Python. The web application connects from any desktop or mobile device, and no software installation is required.
