Procedure to install robot arm in Kobuki

(G)Academic SCARA robot

Academic SCARA robot is a horizontal articulated robot arm for robot control learning that Viston sells.

Academic scalar For RTC of robot control please refer to the following page.

This chapter explains the procedure to fix the academic SCARA robot to Kobuki's plate.

The necessary items for this work are as follows.

Name Quantity
Kobuki 1unit
Plate 1sheet
Support pillar (5cm) 8pcs
Academic SCARA robot 1unit
Wood screw (2cm or more) 4pcs

(G)Robot specifications

Academic SCARA robot specification
Degree of freedom 4 degrees of freedom + hand
Servo motor RS304MD
Communication method HID USB - UART bridge

(G)When fixing the scalar bot directly to the plate

I will explain the procedure to attach the SCARA robot directly to the plate.

First of all, I will puncture a hole in the plate etc. Please drill a hole at the position of the red dot below.

(G)In case of fixing each base

I will explain how to attach the SCARA robot to the base and fix the base to the plate.

(G)Machining the foundation

In order to fix it to the plate of Kobuki, a hole is made in the base of the SCARA robot. Please drill a hole in the red part of the figure below. Please decide the size of the hole by the size of the wooden screw to be used.

(G)Mounting the foundation

First attach the SCARA robot to the base. After installing in the opposite direction as shown in the figure, secure with urea screw.

(G)Robot installation

Please prepare a pilot hole in the plate beforehand with dust etc. It is completed by inserting the wooden screw in the part where the hole of the foundation was opened and joining with the plate with the screw.

(G)Plate mounting

First of all, I will prepare four posts for Kobuki. Please adhere to Kobuki with laser range sensor, Raspberry Pi with double sided tape etc etc.

(G)Sign Smart smart 4 degree of freedom robot arm

In this chapter, we will explain the procedure for installing the 4 degree of freedom robot arm sold by sign smart to Kobuki.

Please refer to the following page for RTC of 4 degree of freedom robot arm control.

The necessary items for this work are as follows.

Name Quantity
Kobuki 1unit
Plate 1sheet
Support pillar (5 cm) 8pcs
4 degrees of freedom robot arm 1unit
Arduino Uno 1unit
Jumper code 15 or more
Breadboard 1sheet
Battery compartment single 3x4pcs 1pc
AA battery 4pcs
Wood screw (2cm or more) 4pcs

When controlling from Intel Edison, Raspberry Pi, it is possible to use a servo driver equipped with PCA 9685

(G)Robot specifications

CENTER: Specification of 4 degrees of freedom robot arm
Degree of freedom 4 degrees of freedom
Servomotor MG995, SG90 9G

(G)Robot installation

Processing to here is unnecessary because the 4-degree-of-freedom robot arm has a hole for mounting from the beginning.

Please insert the wooden screw in the hole of the base part and join with the plate.

(G)Plate mounting

It is the same as procedure of academic scalar robot.
