Han’s Robot has licensed Energid’s Actin® premier control software for its new line of collaborative robots.

Actin is an easy-to-use robot control and simulation framework that offers robot manufacturers faster time to market, reduced software development costs, and powerful control with real-time adaptive motion. Actin’s patented control architecture provides smooth, fluid motion for the most complex robotic systems with a simple task-based user interface.

Actin® provides 3 layers of safety against robotic collisions: Avoidance; Admittance; and Detection; By sensing the output torque or motor current of back-driveable joints, Actin® can detect collisions and make electric robots collaborative.
