A digital actuality (VR) robotics showcase has been put in at AMRC North West to assist the area’s companies unlock the immense potential of robotic expertise to spice up their manufacturing processes.
The inclusion of Prolong Robotics’ UR5e RoboKit and SenseKit module, is designed to showcase the potential of cutting-edge, accessible robotics expertise and used to encourage new approaches to manufacturing.
Aparajithan Sivanathan, head of digital expertise on the Superior Manufacturing Analysis Centre (AMRC) North West, mentioned: “When introducing new applied sciences, accessibility is essential.
“The velocity and ease of set up, coupled with the straightforward to make use of, intuitive VR controls, means Prolong Robotics’ resolution has immense potential to improve producers’ current robotics.”
AMRC North West is a part of the College of Sheffield and a member of the Excessive Worth Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult. Its purpose is to assist the Lancashire area’s manufacturing neighborhood entry superior applied sciences that can drive enhancements in productiveness, efficiency and high quality.
This newest piece of equipment, bought by the Samlesbury Enterprise Zone-based analysis centre, was fulfilled as a part of Prolong Robotics’ inclusion in Common Robotic’s UR+ ecosystem. This ecosystem, which offers entry to greater than 340 licensed kits, elements, grippers, software program and security equipment, seamlessly integrates with Common Robots’ cobots.
Dr Chang Liu, is founder and CEO of Prolong Robotics, an organization which goals to develop human-robot interface software program for non-robotic specialists to teleoperate and programme robotic manipulators remotely for bodily duties.
Dr Liu mentioned: “Our set up with AMRC North West demonstrates simply how easy it may be to dramatically improve your robotics capabilities. In lower than an hour we made it doable for his or her robotic arm to be distant operated from anyplace on this planet. We hope this can encourage different producers to discover how we are able to prolong their functionality utilizing our expertise.”
The set-up of the VR robotics expertise by Prolong Robotics took only one hour – and was accomplished utilizing its distinctive software program, seamlessly integrating with AMRC North West’s current robotics {hardware}.
