the first reason is going

1:07

to be of course that has all the R was

1:10

true package uh available in GitHub.

1:13

We're going to see in the next video of

1:16

this series. And the second is going to

1:20

be the cost. We are talking about a cost

1:24

that is going from 3.5

1:28

up to five,000

1:31

uh dollar depending if you purchase

1:34

directly uh from the supplier or you are

1:37

using a reseller. I based in Europe so I

1:41

have decided to purchase uh from the uh

1:45

reseller.

1:46

And this cost allows us to beat the

1:51

entry barrier in uh the deployment of a

1:56

success robots that can solve automatic

2:00

task in any industrial application.

2:03

Okay. So imagine that you want to uh

2:07

deploy a pick and place application or a

2:10

beam picking or um inspection in 3D of

2:15

an object where the position and

2:18

orientation of a certain end factor is

2:21

going to be useful.

2:24

Well, you can consider that if this

2:27

application is going to cost 30K is one

2:30

thing, but it's going to cost 5K plus

2:34

your time for development, you can

2:36

imagine that it's going to be much

2:39

better. Okay? And so that's why I think

2:42

that it's going to be a game changer.

2:44

Okay. So, uh I have done the phase of

2:47

the unbox it. Okay. There are some video

2:51

in YouTube. I'm going to provide the

2:52

link in the description. But basically

2:55

what I did is to get out this robot from

3:00

um the uh box and I have identified

3:05

um according to the video what is going

3:07

to be uh the X and Y uh axis of the base

3:13

link. So this is the first things. The

3:16

second thing is that you will need to

3:18

fix um the with the screw in the

3:22

basement. In this case, I have used um

3:25

uh I have available um um wooden um

3:30

platform. Uh but if you're going to have

3:33

a mounting plate, you can use the screw

3:35

uh that are available in the package.

3:38

Okay. So now let's jump in the cables

3:42

side. So this is going to be the the

3:46

controller. Okay. And uh here you need

3:50

to plug in in this manner. So this is

3:53

going to be the power supply. Okay. This

3:56

is going to be the cables that goes from

3:59

the controller to the robot here. This

4:02

is essential. And this is going to be

4:05

the um the um emergency uh bottom cable.

4:10

So you need to uh plug and then put this

4:14

is the one. Okay. So make sure that you

4:17

have uh this release. So if this is

4:21

pressed okay and then you can release by

4:24

turning this. Okay. So this is release

4:27

and then what I did is to put aant cable

4:31

connected to my uh computer here. Okay.

4:35

So this is the cable setup. So let's see

4:41

uh what's happen uh if we uh switch on.

4:45

Okay,

4:48

we switch on. We need to wait. You

4:51

should see here that uh there will be uh

4:55

some lead that is um blinking. Okay. So

5:00

if it's turning from red, green and blue

5:03

is meaning that it's uh looking for the

5:07

good setup. It's um um checking if the

5:13

emergency control are closed. It should

5:16

be it. And you should wait until you're

5:20

going to have a green light that is

5:23

continually on. Let's wait for this.

5:44

There we go. It's not blinking anymore.

5:46

So, it means that we have uh everything

5:50

uh set up uh correctly. Now we can jump

5:53

to connect uh our computer to the web

5:57

app in such a way that we can control um

6:00

the robot with the web app provided from

6:02

the supplier.

6:04

Okay. So after that you have all the

6:07

cable uh set up uh what you're going to

6:10

need uh to do is uh to um set up uh the

6:15

connection between your computer and the

6:17

robot. Okay. So the first thing that uh

6:21

you need to know is that most likely all

6:24

the robots has the same uh approach when

6:28

you need to um connect um your computer

6:33

and your controller with the robot. The

6:36

the things that you need uh to know and

6:39

this is applied to any robot. what is

6:42

going to be a a cucka um universal robot

6:47

and this uh Fino is that um a robot has

6:52

its own IP address and your computer has

6:55

its own uh address. Okay. And in order

6:58

to make the communication, okay, you're

7:02

going to have the uh IP address of your

7:06

computer that has to be in the same

7:09

network of the IP address of the robot.

7:12

Okay. So what you need to do is to

7:15

establish a static IP address for your

7:20

computer of or for the device for to

7:24

which you're going to use the web app of

7:27

the robots. Okay. So I'm doing this

7:30

procedure uh with Ubuntu but of course

7:33

in Windows there's going to be a lot of

7:35

video to do that. Okay. So you need to

7:38

go to settings, go to uh network and

7:41

then

7:43

uh you're going to h click connected

7:46

because again you are going to have an

7:48

internet cable that is plugged into your

7:52

computer. Okay. And then you can click

7:54

here. You can go to IPv4. Okay. You can

7:58

switch to manual. Okay. And from the

8:00

manual you need to set up this uh

8:03

address here with this net mask. Okay.

8:06

So the most important thing is that this

8:10

has to be exactly the same. Why that?

8:13

Because the IP address of your robot is

8:17

going to be 192

8:21

1 68

8:23

58.2

8:27

and this is the IP address of the

8:29

robots. Okay. So that's why that this

8:33

number can be any except two. Okay,

8:37

we're going to see in a while. I set up

8:40

22. Okay, and with this setup, we are

8:44

going to have our computer and the robot

8:47

that share the same network. Okay. So

8:51

now I can it's okay. You can apply.

8:55

Now we are ready to uh run the web app.

9:00

Okay. So, let's open a browser.

9:04

Uh 92.168.58.2.

9:11

Okay, there we go.

9:13

Uh so uh the first time that uh you're

9:18

going to log in, they asked uh the um

9:23

the licensing and uh then you need to

9:26

put uh the um the serial number that you

9:31

find in the label of the controller

9:34

here. Okay, but it's going to be very

9:36

easy. Okay, then you need to uh power

9:38

off and power on the controller again.

9:42

Okay. Now the uh username is going to be

9:45

admin. You can change uh afterwards. And

9:49

the password is going to be one, two,

9:51

three. Okay. This is the standard one.

9:55

Okay. Not now. Okay. So now the first

10:00

time that you uh log in, you are going

10:03

to see uh the error that uh the shaft is

10:08

out of the limit. Okay. So, uh to solve

10:13

this, what we're going to need to do uh

10:16

is uh to um change the position of this

10:21

uh robot and we are going to use the

10:24

drag functioning. The drag is meaning

10:27

that we can touch the end factor of the

10:31

robot and move. Okay, we're going to see

10:34

how to do that together.

10:36

What you need to do is here you're going

10:40

to have a button you can push and it's

10:43

turn into white and then you can see

10:46

that we can move the robots. Okay, very

10:51

easily. We don't need to put any effort.

10:54

Okay, if you put any effort is meaning

10:56

that there's going to be a problem. You

10:58

can see here that from the screen

11:01

there's going to be the robot that is

11:04

changing the position automatically.

11:06

Okay. So let's see that this is the

11:08

position that we want. Okay. And with

11:13

this is the positive x and this is the

11:15

positive y. Okay.

11:22

Now that we have uh seen together um how

11:27

to drag uh you can see that you don't

11:31

have this error anymore. So uh we are

11:35

ready to use uh this web apps to play uh

11:39

with uh the robot. Okay, it's going to

11:41

be very basic because then in the next

11:44

video we're going to see how to um

11:47

establish a communication with the true

11:49

framework. Okay. But for the moment, if

11:52

you want to really plug and play, uh

11:55

let's use this app. It's very easy and

11:58

intuitive uh to to uh to operate with.

12:02

So basically, you're going to have uh

12:05

four different way to move uh your

12:09

robot. And again everything all the

12:12

measurement is going to be

12:15

with the respect of the tool zero that

12:19

is going to be this one. Okay. With this

12:22

end and the petal you can see here.

12:24

Okay.

12:26

Irrespect of the base link. Okay. And

12:29

here you have this. So base it meaning

12:33

that if we put up is meaning that the

12:38

and the factor is going up but with this

12:42

direction. Okay. And if you see tool and

12:47

you we want to go uh positive Z the end

12:51

is going like here. Okay. Okay. So let's

12:55

start with the base and uh uh here you

12:58

can set up uh the uh the speed of the

13:03

robots. I not suggest to go to 100%.

13:07

Let's or better later when you have set

13:11

up all the way point of your robot then

13:13

in the deployment you can use 100%. But

13:16

let's use 24 let's say 20%. Okay

13:22

19 is okay. set here. You're going to

13:25

set up the threshold to which the joint

13:27

are moving. Okay, let's say that uh 30

13:31

mm it's okay. And then we can move

13:34

upward.

13:37

You can see here that the robot is

13:39

moving.

13:42

Okay, we go downwards.

13:47

Okay, downwards again. The robot is

13:50

moving. Okay.

13:53

And then here if we go uh with um this

13:59

uh positive x, the x is going to be this

14:02

one. So I'm expecting that the end

14:05

factor is going to this direction. Let's

14:07

test it.

14:11

There we go.

14:14

Okay, it works. So now let's see what's

14:19

happening. If we switch to uh tool uh to

14:23

tool then if we set a positive Z it's

14:27

meaning that this uh is pointing uh very

14:33

low in this direction. Okay let's test

14:36

it.

14:38

There we go. It's working. It's working.

14:43

Then here we can set up how to turn it.

14:48

Okay. But okay, uh let's do another

14:51

thing uh to uh to to allows you to see

14:56

better from that perspective. So we can

15:00

switch the uh the joint angle. Okay,

15:03

this is another way to move uh your

15:05

robot. Everything that I'm doing is a

15:08

forward kinematics. So meaning that I'm

15:10

setting up the joint angle and uh let's

15:15

see uh what is happening. So now I'm I

15:19

want I'm using this robot here. Ah so

15:25

it's not like this. So let's move it

15:28

here from this direction.

15:36

Okay.

15:39

So, let's see. Like this. And then let's

15:42

move

15:43

uh not this one. Let's move like this.

15:47

There we go.

15:51

Okay.

15:58

Okay.

16:06

You can see here that if you keep

16:09

pressing plus this is the maximum uh

16:15

threshold angle that is moving. If I

16:17

increase

16:19

you can see here that it's going to be a

16:21

continuously moving.

16:26

Let's

16:32

do it again.

16:37

Okay, let's bring our end factor close

16:41

to here and uh we can see that it's

16:45

pointing through us. So we want to move

16:49

in the positive Z with respect of the

16:52

tool. So let's jump to here and uh let's

16:57

do like this.

16:59

I know it's fade. So it meaning that we

17:02

need to switch to pool. Okay. So now you

17:07

can see better that if we press positive

17:10

Z the robot is coming through our

17:14

direction because this is the uh the

17:18

positive Z of the and the factor. Okay.

17:21

of the tool better. Okay. Can see here

17:24

that is going

17:27

between us.

17:29

Can see here that is approaching us.

17:45

There we go. And then here you can play

17:49

with this

17:52

here is moving in this direction but

17:54

keeping the position of the end factor

17:57

the same. You see and you can see that

18:00

is very precise.

18:03

It's impressive how this robot is going

18:07

to cost. Uh

18:10

it's impressive the performance of this

18:13

robot comparing with uh universal robot

18:18

uh five.

18:20

the precision, the speed that we can

18:23

achieve

18:24

and

18:26

if I think that is going to be a very

18:28

good um ratio between uh price and the

18:33

quality that's why I think that it's

18:35

going to be a game changer. Okay, so

18:37

back to us

18:39

uh ah here we can set up a multi- joint.

18:45

So I want to go here

18:48

and I want uh to do like this one.

18:56

Okay, let's apply. Let's see what's

18:58

happen.

19:02

It's going to go with the um uh the

19:09

It's going to go with the um

19:16

it's going to go with the speed that we

19:20

have set up here. Okay, we have set up

19:22

at 19. Okay, in the top right corner uh

19:34

here top right corner it's in run. You

19:36

can see running and then 19 here top

19:40

right. Okay, if you can follow my mouse.

19:43

Okay. And then something that we have

19:46

seen a lot of thing in our uh tutorial

19:50

uh by using um the inverse kinematics.

19:54

This is where this is the place where

19:57

you can set up the position of your end

20:00

factor with respect of the base link by

20:03

calculating the merat. So here you're

20:06

going to set up uh the position uh of

20:09

the end factor. So let's say that we

20:11

wanted to reach 300

20:14

and then

20:16

100. Okay, let's calculate the joint.

20:19

Okay, so this is going to be the

20:21

position of the end factor that has 300

20:26

with respect of the X that is going to

20:28

be this one, the the red one. It's going

20:31

to be pointing here and uh 100 with

20:36

respect of the uh yaxis.

20:41

Okay. And uh uh let's say 800.

20:48

Calculate the joint. There we go. Okay.

20:50

Let's move. But this time, let's

20:54

increase the speed.

20:57

Set.

20:59

Move. There we go.

21:05

Okay.

21:09

So, that's all uh for today. I hope that

21:12

you enjoy this kind of video. If you

21:15

want me to continue this series by using

21:18

the hardware, uh let me uh know. And

21:23

this is uh also an anticipation for uh

21:26

the master class where I'm going to put

21:29

all the uh where I'm going to uh deploy

21:33

everything that we have learned so far

21:35

in during simulation with this real

21:38

robot. I promised uh you that I did this

21:42

such of content and there we go again.

21:47

Thanks for your attention and as always

21:49

keep learning robotics with Voss.
