DexTAR :: The fastest five-bar parallel robot

Published on Jul 13, 2012

DexTAR (Dextrous Twin-Arm Robot) is the fastest five-bar parallel robot with the largest workspace possible. In order to take full advantage of its workspace, the robot crosses Type 1 (serial) singularities, i.e., it changes working modes. In addition, the trajectory between two Cartesian positions is optimized in terms of cycle time. The robot's end-effector can accelerate up to at least 25 Gs.

Calibration of an industrial robot using a cable robot and a laser tracker

Published on Sep 15, 2015

This is the first video presenting CabOLS, our Cable-actuated Omnidirectional Load Simulator, which is essentially a cable robot. CabOLS is used to apply various loads to the end-effector of an industrial robot. The exact load applied is measured using a force/torque sensor attached to the end-effector of the industrial robot. A laser tracker is used to measure the deflection of a point on the end-effector after the load has been applied. The whole procedure is fully automated.

In this particular video, we use the position and wrench measurements to calibrate the industrial robot and then validate its position accuracy.
