Puma 560 Robotic Manipulator

Donated by: Unmanned Solutions

Description:

The Puma 560 Robotic Manipulator is a six degree of freedom mechanism capable of reaching any point in its sphere of operation from any trajectory. The six degrees of freedom are control by six servo motor consisting of a brushed DC motor coupled with a 500-1000 count 3 channel encoder and a potiometer. One of the unique features of this robot is ability to determine its global postion from the given feedback information.


Current Reseach

As of now, the Puma 560 has been interfaced to the Delta Tau Programmable Multi-Axis Control Board (PMAC). My intention is to control the robot locally using the inhouse control software packages that are currently being developed. I also intend to control the robot over the World Wide Web using CGI/HTML programming. Operations are currently underway to establish a net server to serve as a host for remote users.
