At the latest Robotics Meetup in Nuremberg, a significant milestone was achieved: A new model is set to be released in August.
The upper body was redesigned with discreet fasteners and motors, featuring hidden screws and cables to maintain a sleek appearance.
The new model features a simplified assembly process.
The shoulders are now equipped with stronger motors.
Previously, PIB could only track horizontal movements. The updated model now also tracks vertical movements.
The electronic system was upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 4.
The PIB is now containerized, allowing for seamless setup on various software systems. This battle is a group success, particularly during the last hackathon.
A digital twin was developed to enable simulations and machine learning capabilities.
Nicht alles hat sich geändert. The camera and show remain unchanged, ensuring compatibility with the previous model was maintained. Updated tutorials are being prepared to ensure a straightforward assembly process.
The meetup also featured a guest speaker from EduArt Robotics, who presented the EduArt robot. Following the presentations and discussions, participants unwound together over pizza and refreshments, seizing the opportunity to network with fellow robotics enthusiasts.
