Abstract :
The development of a sophisticated robot experimental test-bed is described. A CRS Robotics Corporation A460 robot is de-engineered to add joint torque control and a Windows-based user interface so that advanced model-based robot controls can be tested. With this interface, experiment set-up, execution, data collection and display are selected with a mouse with point and click commands
