Robonine are starting work on the next version of the SO ARM 102 manipulator. The version will be open source and agreed upon with @therobotbuilder the creator of the original manipulator.
We are planning to:
- increase positioning accuracy by approximately 2x using Feetech STS 3250 motors - increase working payload from 200g to 300g - increase rigidity using parametric design optimization and stiffer plastic - increase length to 550 mm - increase folding angles - use ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting standard for the gripper - use a parallel gripper in the default version - update the mounting plate for different camera types, M3 grid with 12.5 mm pitch - add table mounting standard 80x80 M8
The number of degrees of freedom and basic kinematics will remain the same.
Are there other things missing for working with SO ARM 100?
- Any standard inputs/outputs, for example? - Status indicators? - Perhaps some types of mounting for third-party grippers are more preferable? - Anything else?
