e-Nuvo, Nuvo for Educators
Posted on December 5th, 2005 by admin in Hobbyiest
ZMP, the Makers of the Nuvo robot have created an educational version called, "eNuvo" for use in schools. Robots-Dreams.com has some video and more information about it, in addition to the video on ZMP’s site.[The] 12 weeks course includes: Coordinate systems of link structure,
Motor Driver circuit (H-Bridge/PWM), Processor & Sensors,
Serial Communication, Feedback Control and other fundamentals
to control robots.
Each of Nuvo’s legs has 6 joints and are controlled by a customized motor controller.
According to ZMP’s site, eNuvo is:
(1) Handy, Light, Desktop Humanoid
(2) Availability to alter system elements (adding sensors?) according to your lecture style
(3) Convenient Microsoft Windows based system
(4) Complete software development environment including “Control GUI”,
“Robot Programming API”, “Motion Editor” and etc.

I believe the repackaging of commercial robots into educational kits could be a huge new market for Japanese robotics companies, especially if they begin to target the US market. Hopefully, the US will eventually catch up, but until then, I’d love to have a eNuvo kit under my Christmas tree!

Hi!
Just to add up to the news, ZMP has launched what we called the [e-nuvo Series] which comprises not only the e-nuvo WALK which is the robot featured above, but also e-nuvo WHEEL (inverted pendulum robot to be available on november), e-nuvo ARM (arm robot to study kinematics-available next year) and e-nuvo BASIC (set to study basic areas of engineering)
And ZMP is receiving orders from the US as well! so now any of us can have the e-nuvo under our trees!
Greetings
