Humanoid robot arms offer exciting advantages for robotic tasks. With many degrees of freedom, they are able to reach around obstacles, reconfigure for strength, improve accuracy, and manipulate objects with dexterous, fluid motion. Humanoid manipulators have the property of kinematic redundancy that enables the placement of a hand or tool at a desired position and orientation within its workspace in an unlimited number of ways.
Combined with Energid’s 3D visualization, reasoning, and control software, the Cyton Alpha can perform advanced control by exploiting kinematic redundancy. With Energid’s networking software, it can be controlled remotely through a local area network or the Internet.
