Re: pic: The Vitruvian Arm - 2630
It appears like your arm has three joints, but that the wrist is chained such that it is always parallel to the shoulder, regardless of the elbow position. If that's the case, clever design, I like it!

Re: pic: The Vitruvian Arm - 2630
Wouldn't you get the same effect just bolting the claw to the end of the first joint? It sounds like the other two "cancel out", and I don't get the benefit. (Height?)

Re: pic: The Vitruvian Arm - 2630
im guessing its that way because it touches the ground on both sides of the robot. If it was just a single joint the claw would not contact the ground parallel...

I would assume it's to contour around the bumper for floor pickup.

1350 built a symmetrical robot last year, except ours had no top and yours has no back. I hope yours works better.

Beautiful! The 3-segment, single DOF arm and the hefty tubular elevator are a cool combination. Nice wide gripper, too. Out of the mechanisms shown on CD this year, this is my favorite by far.
Hope to see it up close in St. Louis! |

the 100% bumper wrap rule and our desire to floor load from both sides were the main reasons for this design.Quote:
p.s. here's an animation of the arm, a video is worth at least 24,000 words per second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiPMw7SfBkk |

Re: pic: The Vitruvian Arm - 2630
Your animations on youtube are simply awesome. It's very easy to tell your students must be learning a lot from you. I especially like the animation of the cam driven gripper. Just awesome.
I too hope to see you in St. Louis. Best of luck. |
