TriFinger Documentation¶
Warning
This documentation is still work in progress and thus does not cover everything yet.
The TriFinger Robots¶
The TriFinger robots have been developed and built at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Tübingen, Germany. There are currently eight TriFingerPro robots hosted at MPI-IS which can be accessed remotely and were used for the Real Robot Challenge.
The TriFingerEdu is an open-source version of the challenge robot, with identical actuators, almost identical kinematics, and identical software. Compared to the challenge platform, the “Edu”-version is easier to construct, such that researchers are able to build it themselves.
About this Documentation¶
Documentation of the usage of the TriFinger robots and of the various software packages that are involved is a bit distributed over several places. The documentation you are currently reading serves as a main entry point that covers the overarching aspects and points to more specific documentations (e.g. of individual packages) where appropriate.
