GraspIt! Overview We have created a robotic grasping simulator known as GraspIt! that can accommodate arbitrary hand and robot designs. The user simply specifies the kinematics in a configuration file and provides the link geometry files. It also includes a rapid collision detection and contact determination system that allows a user to interactively manipulate the joints of the hand and create new grasps of a target object. Each grasp is evaluated with numeric quality measures, and visualizat ...

ATOM is an industrial 6 degree of freedom force reflecting/controlled hydraulic manipulator designed and built for hazardous waste remediation. ATOM is available as a teleoperated or fully autonomous system. It is built using standard and proven industrial components. The manipulator can lift 136 kg (300 pounds) at a full extension of 1.9 m (75 inches). ATOM is designed and built to withstand significant shock loads. ATOM is used for decontamination and decommissioning. Atom Specification ...

Features: Rugged and finely adjustable camera mounts Novel verge mechanism provides zero backlash and high precision Pan and tilt mechanisms have separate drive and feedback trains for precise observability Low inertia about each axis supports smooth, quick action Optical switches on all three axes to support both precise calibration and safe joint limiting Wide pan axis bearing ring allows for orderly camera cable routing through base All control electronics are housed in the base Serial control and power connect directly to a single, self-contained unit Simple, high bandwidth, serial interface provides several position and velocity PWM servo control modes
