ActinTM Toolkit for Easy Control of Complex Robots

Actin provides special tools for controlling complex robotic systems. With Actin, you can set the locations of points and frames on the robot to where you want them placed, and the software automatically calculates the motor positions to achieve it. For robots with many degrees of freedome, you can set criteria you would like to achieve, such as collision avoidance, joint limit avoidance, and strength optimization, and use any extra degrees of freedom in the system to achieve them. Actin allows you to make the most of your robotic hardware.

Actin works with both fixed-base and mobile robots. For tracked, wheeled, or walking robots with articulated arms, Actin provides control calculations that coordinate the motions of the joints and the base.

Actin Robot Control

Actin offers many advantages:

  • Coordinated control - for fixed or mobile robots, serial or bifurcating, all motors work together
  • Intelligent robot motion - control gives collision avoidance, joint limit avoidance, and strength optimizaiton
  • Unprecedented flexibility - users configure the control using a plugin API and a simple XML-based scripting language
  • Reduced development costs - the cross-platform C++ interface and framework gets you up and running
  • Faster time to market - Actin removes uncertainty and allows roboticists to focus on the application of the robot
  • Code reuse - control algorithms developed for one application can be used on others
