System Demonstration Video: The robotic arm unloads and loads a transport robot under manual control. The original animation can be found here.
(Note: a human is still "in the loop" to control the arm and adjust the gripper. Follow-on Phase II research will develop the software for complete autonomous operation.)
Task 2: First test of the gripper picking up a strawberry box.
Task 3: Demonstrating independent software control of each joint of the robotic arm.
Task 4: The robotic arm lifts a strawberry box 28" (the quivalent height of our transport robot.)
Task 5: The robotic arm lifts a strawberry box out of the transporter and places it on a pallet in 9 seconds (with a 3 second pause).
