The pneumatic part of the project has five sections:

- air-pump --> we use Ralph Hempel's well known two-pistons pump
- air-direction switch --> J.Brown has solved that problem geniously, so we
use this http://jpbrown.i8.com/
- air-pressure-sensor --> again we use J. Brown's system, which is simple
and efficient
- control-programs with two independent function: pressure-control and
open/close-control
   (see Robolab-program)

- grabber mechanism --> we use two small pistons to activate LEGO liftarms
which form the fingers of the hand. The fingers are fixed to a turnable base.


We are preparing to gather all the robot-arm related files on a CD. This
will take some time.

Claude,

Real nice project!

I am interested in more details concerning the grabber hand. The page says
it is pneumatics, but there don't seem to be many details. Any info on this
part of the arm would be great.

Thanks,

Jona

Hi all,

have a look at our 5 DOF robot-arm:

(this is a private father-son realization)

http://www.convict.lu/Jeunes/RoboticsIntro.htm

Features:

- 50 cm arm
- nearly half-sphere work-space
- 2 RCXs
- 6 motors
- 5 rotation sensors
- 1 touch sensor
- pneumatic grabber-hand
- individual motor control programs (Robolab 2.5)

- autonomous motion is possible

- preferable: computer-controlled motion

* multi-RCX communication (RS232 / USB)
* optimizing positions of every articulation depending
  on the actual location and target position, angular
  velocities, duration of movement, additional rules
* coordinates transformation
* linear interpolation
* object-recognition through camera
* solved challenge: "find and localize LEGO-pieces, grab them and
  store them into a box"

If you are interested in details: e-mail cbaumann@ci.educ.lu
