Robotnik Automation Modular Arm

ROS Software Maintainer: Manuel Rodríguez

The Modular Arm of Robotnik Automation is an arm based on the Schunk PowerCube modules. These rotary modules include gear-motor, power stage and controller, so the resulting arm does not need an external control cabinet. Instead, the external connection of the arm is reduced to just 24 VDC power and comunication via CAN bus.

Instalation

Running

Start the simulation with the desired environment

roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch

and after that you can run the Modular Arm

roslaunch modular_arm solo_modular.launch

You can generate an arm planning for your desired end-effector following this tutorial.
