HEBI Robotics final week in the course of the Robotics Summit & Expo expanded its choices with its new H-Series platform of sensible robotic actuators. The firm says this new sequence of actuators offers larger versatility, precision, and torque, and can be utilized to create customized robots for difficult environments.
The Pittsburgh-based spin-off from Carnegie Mellon University’s Biorobotics Lab says the purpose-built H-Series offers extra versatility and torque whereas nonetheless withstanding rugged situations.
The H-Series is a fully-featured robotic element with an onboard IMU, present sensing, and over-temperature safety. These options permit it for use in something from wheeled robots to collaborative robotic arms. The sequence has zero backlash and as much as 140 Nm steady torque.
Technical particulars behind HEBI’s H-Series Actuators
HEBI’s H-Series actuators can run on something from 24V-48V DC and talk utilizing normal 100 Mbps Fiber-Optic Ethernet. This permits for straightforward, versatile integration with much less downtime.
The firm sealed every H-Series actuator to IP65 and designed them with HEBI’s nice modular flexibility, and has 10 instances extra energy and extra exact place management. The actuator is at present out there in HEBI’s on-line retailer.
“The H-Series is an thrilling enlargement of the HEBI ecosystem,” Bob Raida, CEO of HEBI Robotics, mentioned. “HEBI’s long run imaginative and prescient is to create the following technology of robotic instruments and put the facility of robotic improvement into the fingers of each employee, whether or not they’re a technician, farmer, or the rest. In order to do this we’re constantly increasing the capabilities and flexibility of our platform. The H-Series is a crucial step in that path.”
To make controlling the H-Series straightforward, HEBI Robotics offers cross-platform software program instruments. The instruments include options like stay plotting, management from cellular units like telephone and tablets, and APIs for MATLAB, ROS, C/C++, and Python.

Earlier this yr, HEBI named Raida CEO and Dave Rollinson CTO. Howie Choset, who has been appearing CEO, was named chairman of the board. HEBI mentioned this transformation in management displays its transition from offering expertise to researchers to offering options to end-users.
Raida started working with HEBI Robotics in 2015, initially as an exterior enterprise marketing consultant. He grew to become the primary full-time worker of HEBI in 2016 as VP of enterprise improvement. Since 2017 he has been serving as chief working officer.
Rollinson is a co-founder of HEBI Robotics and a key contributor to its modular robotics expertise and imaginative and prescient. He studied underneath Choset at Carnegie Mellon University and acquired his Ph.D. whereas researching and creating the important thing applied sciences behind HEBI’s platform.
