Puma 560 Robotic Manipulator
Donated by Unmanned Solutions, Inc.
The Puma 560 is a six degree of freedom
robot manipulator. The end-effector of the robot arm
can reach a point within its workspace from any direction.
The six degrees of freedom
are controlled by six brushed DC servo motors,
each coupled with a 500-1000 count 3 channel encoder and
a potentiometer. The robot can determine its global postion from the given
feedback information. The original controller of this Puma 560
has been retrofitted. The robot currently
can be controlled remotely through the network.
