- VSU’s students now have an opportunity to work with the robotic tool ROIN whose functions are identical to those of the robotic tools designed for the atomic, steel, construction, railway industries, etc. The only difference of the laboratory tool from its industrial counterpart is the speed limit set by the developers for safety reasons.
- The robot manipulator arm designed for VSU has 7 degrees of freedom and an infinite 360-degree rotation mechanism on the end joint. The rotation mechanism can be equipped with various grippers and electric tools. Despite being quite small, ROIN has the maximum load capacity of 150 kg.
