Variable Geometry Truss Robot

Cincinnati Milacron T3 Industrial Robot

This robot is a more classically designed industrial robot.   Designed as a healthy compromise between dexterity and strength this robot was one of the ground breakers, in terms of success, in factory environments.  However, while this robot was a success in industry its inflexible interfacing system makes it difficult to use in research. 

This robot is used most heavily by students taking Dr. Delbert Tesar's "Robotics and Automation" course (ME 372J) from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Austin.
