Jaguar V4 with Manipulator Arm

Jaguar V4 Mobile Robotic Platform with manipulator arm is designed for indoor and outdoor applications requiring robust maneuverability, terrain maneuverability and object manipulation. It comes with four articulated arms and is fully wirelessly 802.11N connected. It integrates outdoor GPS and 9 DOF IMU (Gyro/Accelerometer/ Compass) for autonomous navigation. Jaguar V4 platform is rugged, light weight (< 30Kg), compact, weather and water resistant. It is designed for extreme terrains and capable of stair or vertical climbing up to 300mm with ease. The 4 articulated arms could convert the robot into various optimal navigation configurations to overcome different terrain challenges. The integrated high resolution video/audio and optional laser scanner provide remote operator detail information of the surrounding. Besides the ready to use control and navigation software, a full development kit including SDK, data protocol and sample codes, is also available. The integrated rugged 3+1DOF robotic manipulator (Jaguar Arm) is designed for compact mobile robots. It is light on weight, low on power consumption and compact on size. It has 3 DOF + 1 DOF gripper, with maximum reach of over 707mm (28 in), max payload capacity of 4Kg at max reach, while weights under 10Kg. Wrist mounted color video camera provides high resolution (720 x 480) close-up view. Jaguar Arm is ideal for object inspection and handling. It could also work as an articulated sensor platform. Integrated software features independent joint space control as well as gripper Cartesian space control. While it only has 3 rotation joints (excluding gripper), when working together with the Jaguar mobile robot, Jaguar Arm could achieve full 6DOF, and reach virtually any position and at any orientation within its allowed working space.

To use this material you should have installed Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic on it. Then, packages “drrobot_5dofmanipulator_ctrl” and “drrobot_jaguar_v6” should be compiled in the catkin workspace. These packages provide GUI interface for both arm and platform controls.

P.S. Recharge the battery after every drawn-out usage.

You can here give a more detailed description of the product. Include pictures and figures to explain what it looks like, how it works, etc.

Detail here the configuration process, the different options, and how to set it up (first time or afterwards).

Explain here (with visual aide if possible) how to use the product, how to interface it with other material, how to plug it. It is also recommended to add a method (of a few methods even) to test the working of the product, like demos or a specific process.
