Mechanical Design update

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Some old mechanical design added to the “Mechanical Design “section.

It is simple two wheeled robot, easy to control and built. Behind it has some tail/castor wheel for additional support.

Abstract: The presented papers are devoted to the 3D scanning of the material objects,using anthropomorphic 6DoF industrial manipulator and laser range meter. The solution presented in the article can be used in any present automated manufacturing facility because of its considerable low price and reasonable precision.

The question of precision is not described in the papers, as we tried to provide the reasonable solution for rather expensive area of 3D scanning. Mostly, present solutions which are offered by different companies are rather expensive and precise but for most of them scanning is made by 1,2 or 3Dof mechanisms which makes difficult, some times uncomfortable and impossible to scan big material objects. Our solution provides an opportunity to perform scanning of big material objects and even perform 3D scanning of the surfaces which are difficult to reach.

Keywords: Robotics, Control, 3D scanning
