Atach arm to mobile plataform

Post by dds »

Hello. What is the correct way to place an existing model of a manipulator on a mobile robot base ? for example the 7Dof manipulator on a p3-dx mobile robot?

Hi! it does work well with Grouping the manipulator with the base of the robot, but i noted that the main objet of the manipulator desapeared when i do this , do you know why?
does anyone have a simple 6 dof servo manipulator model? like the educational manipulators ?

Hello,

usually you should use a force/torque sensor in-between the manipulator base, and the mobile platform. So basically:

mobilePlatform (non-static object) --> force/torque sensor --> baseOfManipulator (non-static object)

In a few days, there will be a new V-REP release (V3.1.1), which will include the P3DX Pioneer model.

Cheers
