NAME NEXTAGE-Open – Dual arm robot with humanoid torso

DESCRIPTION

The NEXTAGE OPEN robot is a dualarm robot from the manufacturer Kawada. It is focused on being a research platform thanks to the software programming environment that it incorporates that is highly scalable. The software of the robot is ROS-compatible. It incorporates an open source software and driver provided by TORK (Tokyo Opensource Robotics Kyokai Association). It has a camera on each arm that allows you to detect objects accurately and two cameras in the head that combined with the other two allow you to perform object detection with visual information from various angles. In terms of safety, it has low power motors (<80W) and the arm joints are protected and do not have elements that could cause pinching. SOFTWARE - Fully open source (compliant with Standard Robotic cell project) - Access to the robot control (no PLC/interfaces necessity) - Advance programming using ROS (harmonized with SNZ Cobot) - Limited speed (<250 mm/s), acceleration and power (<80W) - Collision detection - Real time motion planner: trajectory calculated, no programmed HARDWARE - Compact and light-weigh unit (<50Kg) - Positioning repeatability accuracy (TCP): ± 0.03 mm - Position accuracy using vision: 0.5 mm - Max. linear velocity: 700mm/s - Power supply: 220v - Power consumption: 1200-1500 W - 15 DOF (Arms 6x2, Neck 2, Waist 1) - Length of arm: 57 cm - Payload: 1,5 Kg per hand, 3.0kg /both arms - Artificial vision system in head and hands
