День томуWe check out the xArm 7, the upcoming 7-axis robot arm made by UFactory, who previously released the desktop-sized uArm. UFactory's co-founder Tony walks us through the functions of their new industrial arm, shows us how it works, and explains why they built this arm for professional use.
Find out more about the xArm 7 here: xarm.ufactory.cc/

Can it handle inverse kinematic operations? Are there measures in place to avoid the arm colliding with itself, with a predefined environment. Is it anything more than just a moving sculpture?

Arms become MUCH more useful when they are designed to change their own end effectors! A good basic demo of it's repeatability would have included it touching a dial indicator several times.
@diegobatista41175 4 роки тому
I love robotic arms and great product (it's such an idealistic looking tool to have especially for a small business owner like myself) but, I want to see this thing operational in a real life simulation with 7 axis. What can this puppy actually do in a production scenario. What are the applications available. I want to see how it is programmed to removed 3D printed parts out of a machine in the middle of the night while everyone is out of the studio for example. Besides the obvious pick and place of pc board parts, you'd need a conveyor part system added. To show a 10k robotic arm lift a coffee cup is like showing a cyclist sitting on a 10k carbon frame what it only could be like?

I would ask if the axis before the camera must necessarily be a 360° rotation axis, because it is easy to add image rotation in the video editor.

this is something you buy if your rich and you want to make your workshop look cool and high tech, but the only thing i actually see it being used for is as a extra hand holding something still while you work on it with 2 hands... if u had a small factory i assume you would spend more for a reliable arm from a reputable company

I was just thinking yesterday about arms and wondering is there was a small pro-sumer industrial arm. Still not cheap enough but I'm expecting a miracle I guess. :)
@troelsfischerthomsen1892 5 років тому
can you program it by telling it where to move the tool, and have the robot figure out joint movement?

Of course. Inverse kinematics is standard on any robot arm.

@Kepe 5 років тому
Software seems super clunky if you need to program individual joint movements. It would be a lot better if you could just move the arm to a position (by physically moving the arm and moving it using software for more precision) and then say "start from this position" and then move it to another position and say "move to this position" and then the software does the actual programming of the required joint movements automatically to make that happen. Of course it needs to allow for more than just two positions, but you get what I mean. The arm itself looks like it is capable of doing a lot of light stuff, it's the software that seems to be lacking.
@TheEtbetween 5 років тому
Yeah, definitely agree software seems Amateurs.
@MR-um5wj 5 років тому
Best comment ever, not pejorative as most of them. Totally agree with you that the soft should automatically define all the joints movements from a point A to a point B. And I can add that we could give a constraint like "keep the end tool (here the gripper) horizontal or in his original point A plan" during the movement. Doing this only to points availlable should definitly make this arm more useful and professionnal style. As already said in comments software is the key, and to make this arm easy use with all thoses joints makes it probably more difficult.

@brokenacoustic 5 років тому
Seems like programming it would be tedious, especially if you wanted it to do more than just a few different tasks. Should try motion capture of a human arm making the needed movements and recombobulate that to the robot arms programming.
@Critters 5 років тому
Later in the video they show how you can position it by hand, i'd imagine you can then capture the pose vs having to nudge every joint in software
@JS-gk9et 5 років тому
That’s the beauty of ROS. Other folks can make programming systems of all sorts to tell this ‘bot what to do: including motion capture or imitating.

@Nullzero98 5 років тому
Looks like they got the basics down. Japanese engineered harmonic drives are great step in the right direction. But one of the reasons industrial companies trust the robots built by Fanuc or Kuka or Kawasaki, etc, is because of the after-market support. Do you think this start-up company will be here in 5, 10, 20 years to support their robot and protect your investment? Not only with software updates, but also spare parts, repair services, on-site support, etc? I'd be wary of buying any start-up robots over $3k~$5k. If it were open source, that would be a different story, since you then would have top-to-bottom control over spare parts, firmware updates etc. With those after-market caveats aside though, the robotic arm industry is ripe for disruption. The price of a GOOD robotic arm is quite expensive. For even a small one with a 0.5kg to 2kg load, you could spend $30k or more easily. Those prices won't hold for much longer with china getting into the game.
@adisharr 5 років тому
China doesn't care about safety and for that reason alone, their robotic market is stagnating in most countries.

@PhiTheProducer 5 років тому
I work with robotics in industrial engineering. This robot is slower than frozen molasses.
@ryansemplexyz 5 років тому
Yeah even a small fanuc would rip this to shreds in terms of speed and power. From what I gathered, this arm doesn't even have a "world" coordinate option, forcing the user to program each axis individually. For the price it might be a fun little tool for the garage, though.
@kurupz 5 років тому
why would I even want one at home
@JS-gk9et 5 років тому
Limited to 250mm/s max, for sure, possibly less in this case. Any little bot that wants to be used collaboratively will have that limit and a low payload, or other safety devices are required. Little industrial robots are seriously fun to watch at full speed. Love the sounds they make, too.
@mrvzhao 5 років тому
Since you work in the industry, I'm sure you're fully aware of the reasons for REQUIRING it to be so slow.
@PhiTheProducer 5 років тому
mrvzhao if you mean “safety”, then it’s simply a bad demonstration. They should get out of the shot, and let the robot perform at speed. Or at least show and few tight short, tight, steps, to demonstrate its potential.

@aleksandersuur9475 2 роки тому
Reach around things or use the last axis as a mechanical drive for a gripper. It's certainly useful, but there is a price of course, both literal and in robot rigidity, but that's always the case with each extra axis anyway.

3.5 Kg? If it can't throw a human around like a rag doll, it's not industrial.
@mrvzhao 5 років тому
Not necessarily. Industrial robots come with a wide range of payloads. At 3.5 kg, this definitely qualifies as a small payload industrial robot - the kind you want to have on your desk anyway. Check these out: robotics.kawasaki.com/en1/products/robots/small-medium-payloads/
@gusbisbal9803 5 років тому
If all your doing with it is feeding a machine stock material, like small screws, nuts or bolts, on a 24 hour cycle then its as industrial as needed. Before you call something non-industrial, maybe you should have worked in an industrial plant at some point?
@golferchin76 5 років тому
Industrial means repeatability, precision, durability. 24/7 365 days nonstop except for scheduled maintenance, etc. Weight is just a spec.
@russellzauner 5 років тому
Yeah. Like driving a Porsche at full blast with the steering wheel removed. WHOOHOO....aw.
