OWI-007

The OWI 007 Robotic Arm Trainer teaches basic robotic sensing and locomotion principles while testing motor skills as you build and control the arm. Using the wired control one can control the arm grab, release, lift, lower rotate wrist and pivot sideways 350 degrees. After assembly, one can observe the gear mechanisms through the transparent arm's plastic. Five motors and five joints allow for good flexibility. Educators will find the robotic arm a useful tool. It's usefulness as an education tool can be extended to explore other robotic technologies like speech recognition, speech control, automation and animatronics using our OWI-007 Robotic Arm Trainer accessories.

Features include:

• Five Axis of motion:
• Base can rotate left and right - 350°.
• Shoulder moving range - 120°.
• Elbow moving range - 135°.
• Wrist rotate CW and CCW - 340°.
• Gripper open and close- 55 mm (2.2 inches) - 0.
• Product Dimensions- Maximum length outwards - 360 mm (14.2 inches).
• Maximum heights upwards- 510 mm (20.1 inches).
• Lifting Capacity- Maximum 130g (4.6 oz.) Power.
• Power Source: 4 "D" batteries (not included)

PC Windows USB Interface for OWI-007 & OWI-535 Robotic Arm

The RAI-Pro USB robotic arm interface kit connects OWI's 007 Robotic Arm Trainer (tm) to a personal computer, (IBM PC or compatible). The interface connects to the PC's USB port. The software for the interface permits real time control and contains a built-in interactive script writer. A user may write a script that contains up to 99 individual robotic arm functions (including pauses) into a single script file. Script files may be saved and loaded from disk.

Script files may be replayed automatically up to 99 times for demonstrating computer controlled automation and animatronics. The Robotic Arm PC Interface creates a fun way of learning and experimenting with computer automation and animatronics.. Kits may be purchased as kets needing assembly or assembled and tested. see prices below.

The Interface Kit Includes:

• Windows 2000/XP/Vista programs (OWI-007 & OWI-535)
• Printed Circuit Board for easy construction
• All components
• Jumper selectable for either OWI-535 or OWI-007 robotic arms
• USB cable

Speech Controlled OWI-007 Robotic Arm

The SCRA-01 incorporates three kits; the OWI Robotic Arm, SR-06 Speech Recognition Circuit and the SRI-01 OWI speech interface circuit. By connecting these kits together you create a powerful speech control system capable of controlling the OWI-Robotic Arm Trainer using voice commands.

The SR-06 speech recognition circuit allows you to train any word(s) in any laguage to control the robotic arm.

You can purchase the kits seperately and build your system slowly or purchase them bundled together. Kits may be purchased as kets needing assembly or assembled and tested. see prices below.

Speech Recognition Interface for the OWI-007 Robotic Arm

The Speech Controller Kit connects the SR-07 Speech Recognition Kit to the OWI-007 Robotic Arm to allow control of the robotic arm using voice commands.  Each robotic function is controlled by a spoken word.  The user teaches the speech recognition circuit to recognize their voice and commands.  Users can select their own words to control robotic arm function.
