Learning Goal
Robot, AIBot

✓ You can see what robots are and how they have evolved.

✓ You can check the components of the AIBot and connect each
component.

✓ You can install the AIBot driver and connect the controller to
your computer.
 Remember the following!
1. Do not apply excessive force to the robot’s joints

2. Be sure to check the the cable connection direction.

3. Excessive closing of the gripper can cause heat.

The angle of the gripper module(4 axis) is allowed from 0 to 100 degrees.

4. Be careful not to hurt your fingers when disassembling the module.

1. Definition of Robot 01

A robot
is a machine
—especially one programmable by a
computer—

3. The Components of a Robot 01

One of the key components of a robot : End-effector

End-effectors are tools or devices attached to the robot's actuators.
and they enable the robot to interact with its environment.
Examples include grippers, cutting tools, and more, depending on the robot's purpose.

The gripper enables robots to grasp, manipulate, and handle objects,

just like human hands(fingers).
