Product
The Allegro Hand comes with its own version of SimLab's Allegro Application Studio (AAS), a robotics software for developing and testing control algorithms for a variety of commercial robots. AAS for the Allegro Hand includes a customized kinematics/dynamics simulator based on RoboticsLab. Algorithms developed can be applied to the virtual hand as well as directly to the real hand with and changes to the code.
Purchasing Options
CAN Interface
A pre-reconfigured CAN interface can be purchased along with the Allegro Hand. The CAN interfaces available through SimLab include:
- National Instruments' (NI) USB-8473s High-Speed CAN
- Softing's CAN-AC2-PCI
- Kvaser's PCIcan 4xHS
- ESD's CAN-PCI/266
Protective Case
A hard plastic carrying case can also be purchased for storing and transporting your Allegro hand.
RoboticsLab
Paired with our RoboticsLab development environment, the user can take full advantage of robust dynamics and system control engines as well as out feature-rich controls SDK. RoboticsLab also enables users to easily model custom robots and test environments in 3D and add built-in and custom sensors, actuators and other dives. RoboticsLab provides the flexibility necessary to prototype and test control algorithms for any system.
