Robot Imitation System
Currently, we can get coordinates from stickers on the joints of the old and new robots. When we get the coordinates from the old robot, we can have the new robot imitate it by entering the coordinates into the Microbot Control Center (MCC) software after positioning the new robot to its home position. In the future, we will continue to develop this process and automate the passing of coordinates from the old robot to the new robot. The next step is to understand how DM2 files in the MCC software are encoded so we can generate our own.

Here is our camera that detects the positions of the stickers on the robot joints in two dimensions. |
| Here is our robot controller, but we also have Microbot Control Center (MCC) software. As you can see in the picture to the right, we can move the base (B) of the robot, as well as the shoulder (S), and the elbow (E). We can also adjust the pitch (P) of the wrist, rotate (R) the wrist and adjust the width of the gripper (G) opening to pick up objects up to 3" wide. |  |
