HEBI Robotics final week in the course of the Robotics Summit & Expo expanded its choices with its new H-Sequence platform of sensible robotic actuators. The corporate says this new collection of actuators supplies increased versatility, precision, and torque, and can be utilized to create customized robots for difficult environments.
The Pittsburgh-based spin-off from Carnegie Mellon College’s Biorobotics Lab says the purpose-built H-Sequence supplies extra versatility and torque whereas nonetheless withstanding rugged situations.
The H-Sequence is a fully-featured robotic part with an onboard IMU, present sensing, and over-temperature safety. These options enable it for use in something from wheeled robots to collaborative robotic arms. The collection has zero backlash and as much as 140 Nm steady torque.
Technical particulars behind HEBI’s H-Sequence Actuators
HEBI’s H-Sequence actuators can run on something from 24V-48V DC and talk utilizing commonplace 100 Mbps Fiber-Optic Ethernet. This permits for simple, versatile integration with much less downtime.
The corporate sealed every H-Sequence actuator to IP65 and designed them with HEBI’s nice modular flexibility, and has 10 occasions extra energy and extra exact place management. The actuator is at present out there in HEBI’s on-line retailer.
“The H-Sequence is an thrilling enlargement of the HEBI ecosystem,” Bob Raida, CEO of HEBI Robotics, stated. “HEBI’s long run imaginative and prescient is to create the subsequent era of robotic instruments and put the facility of robotic improvement into the arms of each employee, whether or not they’re a technician, farmer, or anything. To be able to try this we’re constantly increasing the capabilities and flexibility of our platform. The H-Sequence is a vital step in that path.”
To make controlling the H-Sequence simple, HEBI Robotics supplies cross-platform software program instruments. The instruments include options like reside plotting, management from cellular units like telephone and tablets, and APIs for MATLAB, ROS, C/C++, and Python.
Earlier this yr, HEBI named Raida CEO and Dave Rollinson CTO. Howie Choset, who has been performing CEO, was named chairman of the board. HEBI stated this variation in management displays its transition from offering know-how to researchers to offering options to end-users.
Raida started working with HEBI Robotics in 2015, initially as an exterior enterprise marketing consultant. He turned the primary full-time worker of HEBI in 2016 as VP of enterprise improvement. Since 2017 he has been serving as chief working officer.
Rollinson is a co-founder of HEBI Robotics and a key contributor to its modular robotics know-how and imaginative and prescient. He studied beneath Choset at Carnegie Mellon College and obtained his Ph.D. whereas researching and growing the important thing applied sciences behind HEBI’s platform.
