Robotic arm can work with tiny lenses and mirrors

Founded by scientists from Singapore University of Technology, Eureka Robotics has unveiled a new robotic arm that can accurately and accurately move thin optical lenses and mirrors. Engineers note that it can be compared with a human hand.

Eureka Robotics introduced Archimedes, a six-axis robotic arm designed to capture and control optical lenses and mirrors.

The hand can work with lenses and mirrors of different sizes, even the smallest of them. For example, she can load them into the coating tray or transfer them from one laboratory to another. Engineers believe that introducing a robotic arm into a process can help eliminate defects caused by human interaction.

“With this manipulator, we brought the accuracy of the movements to 10 microns,” said co-founder of the company Fam Quang Kuon. “Its accuracy in placing objects is within a tenth of a millimeter, but it does it neatly thanks to our control algorithms.”
