August 19, 2009 - Motoman offers a customized version of Agile Planet's robot-independent manipulation software, Kinematix, for dual-arm and other robots. The Motoman and Kinematix offering provides users with a family of leading-edge robotic hardware and validated software featuring high-speed control, sensor integration, collision avoidance, telerobotics and motion planning capabilities. As a result, a new set of applications for unstructured environments is now possible that cannot be addressed with the “teach and repeat” capabilities offered in existing robot control systems.Motoman's family of SDA-series robot arms features integral high-speed external control capability.
Paired with Kinematix technology, the integrated system will be able to avoid collisions and optimize its trajectory, resulting in more advanced interactions with the surrounding environment. Combining the SDA robots with Agile Planet's control software will enable a whole new set of applications for unstructured environments that represents a significant breakthrough in robotic technology. These systems will be available globally for commercial use and deployment through Motoman.
