Dynamixel servos are smart actuator systems developed to be used as connecting joints on a robot or mechanical structure. They are designed to be modular and daisy chained on any robot or mechanical design, with the aim of producing powerful and flexible robotic movements. Dynamixel servos are efficient actuators with a fully-integrated DC (direct current)[…]

In order to make Baxter robot even more collaborative, HumaRobotics, Generation Robots’ engineering team, decided to fit upon it the most famous depth measuring sensor: The Kinect camera. There is nothing more natural for a collaborative robot than to directly interact with someone, if he instantly detects this person in its surroundings. Why embed a Kinect camera[…]
