200078EG

200078EG is a fictional designation used in this article to refer to a compact, modular robotic arm intended for light manipulation tasks in educational and light industrial settings. It is presented here as a representative example of a 2000-series line of modular robots, with the code 200078EG distinguishing a specific configuration within the family.

Design and specifications: The arm has four rotary joints (4-DOF) plus a parallel gripper, enabling planar pick-and-place. It has a reach of 0.8 meters, a payload of 1.5 kilograms, and a nominal end-effector force of about 6 newtons. The unit weighs roughly 4.8 kilograms and uses an aluminum alloy frame with high-strength plastics for joints. Actuation is provided by brushless DC servos, and control is handled by an onboard microcontroller with an external PC interface. Power is supplied via 24-volt DC.

Kinematics and software: The system supports basic kinematics, including forward and inverse calculations, with simple path planning for non-collision trajectories. It is compatible with common robotics middleware in education settings and ships with a visual programming environment for beginners.

Development and usage: Conceptualized in 2019 by the fictional company Nova Robotics, 200078EG prototypes were built in 2020 and demonstrated in academic kits. The designation is not associated with a commercial release in this article.

Applications and limitations: The arm is suited for teaching fundamentals of robotics, light assembly, and pick-and-place tasks on small work surfaces. Its limited reach and payload, along with modest positional accuracy under load, constrain industrial deployment. Availability and price are not defined in this description.
