Iranian Company Manufactures Smart Robotic Arm with 7 Degrees of Freedom
“The robotic arm with 7 degrees of freedom and equipped with a linear axis is one of the latest products of our knowledge-based company,” Soheil Ahangarian, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He explained that the most important technological part of the smart robotic arm is its seven degrees of freedom which allows unlimited rotational movement for carrying, moving and any other relevant tasks.
“This robotic arm enjoys the capability to carry a load of up to 250 kg, and in fact, this robot is a skilled programmable arm,” Ahangarian said.
“The robot, like a skilled human force, is able to work with the tool which has been defined for it; for instance, if the welding task is defined for this robot, the arm can work in the same field like a human operator,” he added.
“At present, nearly 40 prototypes of these robots have been sold to the industrial units inside Iran,” Ahangarian said.
In a relevant development in April, researchers at a startup company in Iran had also acquired the know-how to make subsurface explorer robots that makes it possible to take photos and identify sunken objects up to a depth of 100 meters beneath the sea surface.
“We in this company are working on underwater robots with underwater imaging mission. We have targeted Remotely Operated vehicle (ROV) robots in this company. These robots are controlled by cables and the operator can control them online,” said Ali Golkar, the managing director of the Iranian startup company which operates in the maritime field.
“This robot can carry out the desired missions up to a depth of 100 meters. This means that it has the capability to carry out missions in the entire Persian Gulf,” the researcher also said.
Golkar pointed to the inspection operation as one of the capabilities of the subsurface explorer robot, which is made in a modular way, adding, “Extra operations can be added to this robot. It can operate 24 hours a day by connecting to a power source or a battery.”
