Notes Please note the following.
The beginner should not use self-made cables.
Only use the right size screw drivers.
Do not use excess force when tightening the bolts or assembling the parts.
Turn off the power immediately to avoid damage to the robot if a joint gets
twisted caused by the inappropriate motion settings during development.
If this is the first time you are building a robot, please build a robot in the
QuickStart following the instructions. A custom-built robot should only be
attempted if you have at least six months experience with the robots.
To prevent the robots from falling, do not place the robot on a high location such
as on top of a table or desk. Always operate the robot on the ground. If the robot
is damaged due to a fall, it will be ineligible for free repair.
The joints of the robot and the gears inside the Dynamixel are susceptible to
wear. After a period of time, the backlash of the robot will increase, especially if
excessive load is applied.
When operating the robot with the SMPS, make sure the robot doesn’t fall and
refrain from excessive movements. This can cause the SMPS cable to break.
Recommended Tools
Phillips head screwdriver: M2 size
Flat head slotted screwdriver: Use if the bolt’s groove wears out. Do not use
any other tools. The use of dangerous tools can cause accidents.
Building a Robot
Don’t attempt to make a robot with more than ten joints if you are a beginner.
You may need many practices before trying to build a complex robot.
This User’s Guide shows how to build the Robot Arm (3-degree of freedom), and
the Walking Droid(4- degree of freedom).
