Engineering Research Equipment: A Basic Hardware Configuration for Robotics Research

本项目为采购下列物品提供资源： 支持格鲁吉亚机器人研究的设备 理工学院 目前的研究方向是 最优和自适应控制在机器人学中的应用。 在学习控制和机器人合作方面的额外工作是 也在进行中。 该项目的持续进展需要 机器人硬件的可用性，包括两个手臂， 每个关节有两个关节，每个关节有一个计算机控制系统， 研究要求规定，手臂应 速度快而且相当大 “伯克利”手臂开发于 加州大学伯克利分校符合这些要求， 并且比类似的市售产品成本低得多 怀里 这里提供的资源的主要部分是用于 资金购买必要的部分，以建立两个 “伯克利”的武器。 还提供了一台电脑和支持 机器人控制器的测试设备。

This project provides resources for the procurement of equipment to support robotics research at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Current research is directed toward the application of optimal and adaptive control to robotics. Additional work in learning control and cooperating robots is also in progress. Continued progress in this project requires the availability of robot hardware, comprising two arms with two joints each and a computerized control system for each arm. Research requirements dictate that the arms should be fast and fairly massive. The "Berkeley" arm developed at the University of California at Berkeley meets these requirements, and is much less costly than similar commercially available arms. A major part of the resources provided herein is for funding to purchase the necessary parts to construct two "Berkeley" arms. Also provided are a computer and support equipment to enable testing of robot controllers.
