Schilling Robotics to integrate Energid software into its Gemini underwater robot

by Leave a Comment

Schilling Robotics has selected Energid’s Actin software to be integrated into what is described as “the world’s most advanced work class remotely operated vehicles”, or ROVs, which are basically underwater robots.

Schilling is a division of TechnipFMC and will integrate Actin into its new automated Gemini ROV System.

Schilling Robotics is leveraging advanced motion control features of the Actin software to enhance the performance and effectiveness of the Gemini manipulators, one of the many break-through features of the Gemini ROV.

Energid launches update to robotic motion control and path planning software

by

Energid has released Actin 5, a significant update to its software development kit motion control software, that allows robotic system developers to focus on the robot’s task rather than joint movement and paths.

The Actin software responds in real time to sensory input and directs the robot on the most efficient path while avoiding collisions. The robot motion is updated dynamically without requiring reprogramming, even in dynamic, mission-critical environments.

It has a new robot controller development framework that is configurable through XML for application on a wide range of platforms, including real-time operating systems.
