RTP Robots

Medric mobile robot is a robot with unique capabilities designs for research and laboratory applications. This robot designed and produced by RTP and meaning of Medric is smart boy. The controller is open structure and hardware can be extended and this advantage makes this robot ideal for research and laboratory applications. Medric equipped with navigation sensors and since the hardware can be extended.

Treata robot is a rehabilitation robot and using for strengthening the arm of people with brain stroke.

For increasing the efficiency of the brain of patient a software like a play is designed and the patient follow specific targets. Repeating of this action both in passive and active version not only strength the muscles but also improve the brain function. This robot is designed and produced for medical engineering universities and institutions for research purpose. The first idea of this robot is taken from MIT and Johns Hopkins University and is optimized and modified according to customer’s requirement. Treata is a result of a cooperation of medical engineering faculty of Amirkabir University of technology and RTP Company. This robot is open architecture so it helps students for research projects. Robot control can be done by Simulink so control changes and strategy change of the system is possible.

Systems mechanism is made by precise fixtures and in addition to high accuracy, parts can be replace because it is made in Iran. In order to use a system, an operator is need to help patient. The control of the system is done by PC.

This robot has 3 direct axes and 3 independent degrees of freedom. Course length of each axis is 0.5 meter and working space is a 0.5 meter cube. Axes driven by AC rotating motors with ball screw. Each axis has two limit switches at the end of courses and an extra switch to determine start point. These switches cab displaced and they can help to change working space of the robot.  Robots has a panel includes off/on switches, emergency stop switch, power fuse, servo drivers and DAQ card. Control and drive of robot can be done by LabView. The connection between PC and robot is through DAQ card and each axis controls by separate servo drive. Following you can see specifications of each axis and control system.

Laser cladding system consists of 3 linear axes and 2 rotational axis. Rotational axis system is swivel head type. Movements of liner axes is through rotational servo motor and harmonic drive gearboxes. Linear axes are equipped with end line sensor which will be stopped when axis reaches to them. This system is controlled by sigma 7 servo drives and MP2300 controllers. The software using in this system is labVIEW and the connection between pc and controller is through Ethernet.

Printed electronics is a new technology used for coating, circuit and electronic parts production.  The first sample of printed electronics in circuits backs to 1950. Commercialization and a transformation from research phase to production phase has done in the past decade. In general, there are two production methods, the first one is layer to layer and the other one is continuous. The continuous method speed is high and used for massive production of simple circuits and parts. Layer to layer method is so easy for operators they can print different designed circuits easily. Our projects is layer to layer method samples and our offer for production is according to this method. Printers which are used for this application consist of 2DOF or 3 DOF table (depend on under layer materials), head, cartridge, material injection system and a processor system. By using this technology production cost of circuits and parts reduce significantly and since there is no need for lithography, production speed increases. Besides, weight and thickness of the circuits and parts decrease and prints on flexible, bigger and curved surfaces will be applicable.
