In the laboratory of mechatronics is an
industrial SCARA robot manipulator
with 4 axles
... Why not use it for exercises during
the course?
In 1981, Sankyo Seiki of NEC presented
a completely new concept for assembly
robots.
The robot was called Selective
Compliance Assembly Robot Arm,
SCARA. Its arm was rigid in Z-axis and
flexible in XY-axes, Which allowed it to
Adapt to holes in the XY-axes.
