Overview

EtherCAT Communication
Based on standard EtherCAT communication, MiniBOT provides an expandable distributed control system. It is also an excellent material for EtherCAT-related training.

Industrial Robot Design
By referring to the design of general industrial 6-axis articulated robots, MiniBOT is built in the same concept. Its nude mechanical architecture makes it easy to learn the structure of an industrial robot.

Open Development Environment
MiniBOT comes with a utility tool to directly operate the robot. Robotic control APIs are also provided in the Windows platform so that users can leverage their openness to develop any robot applications.
