NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, July 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Elephant Robotics has been committed to R&D, manufacturing, and producing collaborative robots. To meet the expectations of the users from more than 50 countries in the world and make everyone can enjoy the robots world, Elephant Robotics is getting more breakthroughs in product R&D ability and manufacturing capacity.
In July, Elephant Robotics released myBuddy, a dual-arm collaborative robot with multiple functions, at an incredible price. myBuddy helps users achieve more applications and developments as a collaborative robotic arm.
myBuddy is the first dual-arm robot product of Elephant Robotics powered by Raspberry Pi, belonging to Service robot. It is A Dual-arm 13-axis Humanoid Collaborative Robot. myBuddy can work with multiple accessories such as suction pumps, grippers, etc. Moreover, users can boost their secondary development with the robotic-related kits and development tutorials published by Elephant Robotics.
1. Compact size and high cost-performance
The working radius of a single arm of myBuddy is 280mm, and the maximum payload is 250g. It is light and flexible.
Unlike industrial dual-arm collaborative robots that cost a high price, Elephant Robotics upgrades the myCobot series and carries it to the new myBuddy robot based on its highly integrated product design and self-developed robot control platform. A robot at an incredible price makes the development of dual-arm robot applications no longer a difficult problem.
2. Independent open source, supports secondary development
2.1 Fully open control interfaces
The bottom control interfaces of myBuddy are open, and more than 100 API interfaces can be used. The potential value, angles, coordinates, running speeds, and other interfaces can be controlled freely, so users can achieve the application research of dual-arm robots, motion path planning, development of action, and visual recognition.
On the hardware interface, myBuddy provides a variety of input and output interfaces, including HDMI, USB, Grove,3.3V IO, LEGO, RJ45 interface, etc.
2.2 Mainstream programming control
myBuddy supports myBlockly graphical programming, a visual tool with multiple built-in robot application cases. myBlockly is simple and easy for users to use and develop their projects.
myBuddy also supports Python programming language control. Users can set the joint angle and robot coordinates and get the speed position in real-time (response time up to 20ms).
2.3 ROS Simulation control supports
As the official partner of ROS, Elephant Robotics built the ROS environment in the system of myBuddy. In the ROS environment, users can realize robot motion path planning algorithm research, dual-arm interference avoidance algorithm research, robot vision learning, and other artificial intelligence application development.
3. Supports deep learning of robot vision
myBuddy owns a 7-inch interactive display screen, two 2-million-pixel HD cameras, and built-in 20+ dynamic facial expressions. Users can achieve scientific research in human-robot interaction, robot vision, robotics learning, artificial intelligence, action planning, mechatronics, manufacturing, and automation.
The cameras support area location positioning, object, and QR code recognition. myBuddy can achieve face & body recognition with the cameras.
4. Supports dual-arm collaboration
myBuddy owns higher flexibility, maneuverability, and load capacity than the single robotic arm. The ability to grasp …….
