Below are links to some of our more popular videos. Click any title to view. The following avi movie clips are best viewed with windows media player.  Actin Overview (8.62 MB)
An overview of Actin--Energid's robot control and simulation software. Selectin Overview (2.82 MB)
An overview of Selectin--Energid's real-time 3D object recognition and tracking software. Collision Avoidance with Actin (1.31MB)
This movie shows how Actin can be used for complex, real-time path planning--allowing robots to avoid collisions in a fixed or dynamic environment. Design Validation with Actin (1.31MB)
This movie shows how Actin can be used to validate robot designs. Using a simple plugin for SolidWorks, developers can test new designs in a high fidelity dynamic simulation. Self-Collision Avoidance with a 12-Link Manipulator (791 KB)
This movie shows a 12-link manipulator avoiding self-collision. Once the physical description of a robot is defined, with Actin, avoiding collisions is as simple as specifying that desire with a few lines of XML. Self-Collision Avoidance with Robonaut (1.06 MB)
This movie shows Robonaut avoiding self-collision. To avoid self-collision with the right hand, first the left hand moves, then the torso moves. PA-10 Collision Avoidance (4.84 MB)
This movie shows a PA-10 avoiding a spherical region. Kinematic redundancy is exploited to avoid collision when either the end effector or the avoidance region is moved. Dynamic Simulation (307 KB)
This movie shows dynamic simulation. Collision dynamics, with both static and kinetic friction, is modeled. Force Control with Dynamic Simulation (4.04 MB)
This movie shows Robonaut exerting a constant force on the pendulum. Force, as visible through the angle that the pendulum makes with vertical, stabilizes on the desired value. PA-10 with Screw and Sliding Joint (484 KB)
This movie shows a PA-10 manipulator connected to a sliding joint by a screw-type joint. Near the end of the movie the base of the manipulator unscrews. ActinTM supports many types of joints. ActinTM Controlling a PA-10 (18 MB)
This movie shows a live demo of ActinTM controlling a Mitsubishi PA-10 using a desktop PC at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
