Riding an ABB IRB 6600 Robot 1
Loading...
Uploaded by duckjock on Feb 5, 2009
Back in the summer of 2006, we were using an ABB IRB 6600 robot (225 kg payload) for a project. In between the time that we took delivery of the robot, and the time that we finished the tooling for the robot, we purchased a racing seat and 5-point harness. Our welder fabricated a seat mount and adapter plate to the robot's J6 flange. Over the course of the next few evenings, we made various programs for the manipulator, swinging the seat wildly around and taking turns going for rides. One of the highlights of my career!
Please don't try this in your own shop - the safety risk in doing something like this is obviously quite high, even with the soft and hard limits of the robot adjusted for maximum protection. Industrial robots are simply not suited for interaction like this with people! Only one company has produced such a robot - KUKA - and it's only through heavy modifications that the German technical safety authority (TUV) has certified it for carrying passengers.

What kind of glitches are you experiencing on the ABB controller? Is it witf the IRC5 type or an older one?
-
I program both ABB and Motoman robots on my job. ABB makes excellent robots, but I prefer the Motoman controllers. The ABB controllers I've worked with were subject to glitches. Since the ABB's are all made in Sweden, I often tell people that the letters "ABB" stands for All Blond Bimbos.

Looks like fun! I believe the rider should be wearing a helmet though.... just a matter of time before someone's head is split open like a water melon!

I configured one of our Motoman robots with a seat first - but I don't know how to program their stuff. It wasn't much more than some slow moves.
