Barrett Drive Systems

Barrett’s latest advancement comes in the form of two high-performance Puck® P4’s: both a 16mm and 37mm version. With patented dual iSense control and onboard magnetic encoder, motor control has never been so sophisticated, yet so simple. This revolutionary design features snap-on connectors and daisy chain wiring for quick and easy integration with any low space, high-performance application.

The WAM® Arm is a highly dexterous, naturally backdrivable manipulator. The only arm sold in the world with direct-drive capability supported by Transparent Dynamics™ between the motors and joints, so its control of contact forces is robust—independent of mechanical force or torque sensors. It is built to outperform conventional robots with unmatched human-like grace and dexterity.

Burt® is the world’s first advanced and affordable end-effector robotic manipulator for upper-extremity rehabilitation training and robotics research which is based on the proven WAM technology developed by Barrett Technology. With transparent dynamics, low inertia, and mass, Burt® is designed to be a 3D haptic device of choice for those who desire high-fidelity force feedback throughout a human-sized work volume. Burt® supports researchers with new hardware and software modalities necessary for robotics research.

The BH8-series BarrettHand™ is a multi-fingered programmable grasper with the dexterity to secure target objects of different sizes, shapes, and orientations. Even with its low weight (980 grams) and super compact (25mm) base, it is totally self-contained. Communicating by industry-standard serial communications or high-speed CANbus (USB adapters included), integration with any arm is fast and simple. The BH8-series immediately multiplies the value of any arm requiring flexible automation.
