The Staubli RX130, made by Unimation Inc., is a six
DOF robot with a payload capacity of up to 24 kgs.
The rigid structure, totally enclosed arm, and patented gear
reduction system to produce zero backlash, gives it a versatility
which makes it a common choice for robotic assembly lines in
industry.
Image processing develops a virtual workspace in which this
robot will operate. The robot will be controlled based upon
feedback given by numerous cameras which surround its workspace.
