With the ability to coordinate the motion of hundreds of axes in real time, Energid’s Actin toolkit is designed to facilitate the creation of robots with fluid, human-like movement and skills, enabling them to complete tasks requiring dexterous manipulation. The control software, coupled with machine vision, helps robots to avoid collisions with humans and other objects. It supports visual servo-ing, enabling accurate vision-based manipulation of objects in changing environments.
