Robot Arm for University Labs
P-Rob robot arm of six axes is a lightweight collaborative robot made in Siwterland.
It uniquesness lies at:
- No control panel;
- Easy to operate through any browser suferring without any demostrators;
- Strong algothrism and AI feastures packed in the My P software;
- Made by premium leather cover which is also adapted to lab, healthcare and commercial scenario;
- For more specs, please email us.
myP-Interface
myP is a web browser based intuitive user interface enabling control of P-Rob and P-Grip.
The software platform relies on real-time web server as communication framework and an integrated database for fast access and data storage.

myP provides core control functions including direct and inverse kinematics, advanced algorithms addressing learning and context awareness as well as teach-in functions
myP offers a Graphical User Interface (GUI) where most of the common tasks do not need any programming skills (e.g., path teach-in, movements, training patterns, picking objects). The control of the robotic arm and its peripherals (gripper, camera, movable base, etc.) is hosted by a real-time web server, which runs locally in the background.
There is no need to download a specific software module to give authorized users an intuitive and interactive access to the full power of the robot arm (P-Rob) and the gripper (P-Grip). myP web app is available by simply opening the web browser of electronic devices like laptops, tablets and smartphones. P-Rob’s embedded PC provides a convenient WiFi network for connection.
ROS-Package
A P-Rob bought with the special Research Package can be controlled directly with myp_ros.
Our research optimized P-Rob supports a direct ROS connection to the backend allowing users to send command and receive information at much higher rates. This ROS package is “myp_ros” and contains everything you need to start integrated PRob into your ROS environment.

Motion Control Module (MCM)
Collaborative robots from F&P Robotics are equipped with custom designed motion control module (MCM). It allows the customer to have very fast low-level current control access at a frequency of up to 1 kHz. Furthermore the collaborative robot arm can be position controlled with 100 Hz.
MCM provides:
– Direct motor control (PVT, current control)
– Current control loop up to 1 kHz
– Release mode allowing positioning the robot by hand with friction and gravity compensation
– Sophisticated safety checks in all modes
– TCP JSON-based M2M interface
– Text based interface for human interaction
– Heartbeat protection in case of communication loss
– Python Client API (mcmpy)
– C++ Client API
– Additional Forward and Inverse Kinematics Library (C++)
Cognex Camera Module
Cognex is an industrially proven, integrated camera module for use with P-Rob and myP.
It can be used for detection and localization of pre-defined geometries or trained patterns. As well as visual inspection and quality control tasks.
The module can be seamlessly integrated with a P-Grip 2, but can also be statically mounted externally.

F&P Robotics offers a software add-on to read camera data with myP. The detection/inspection job is being programmed in the usual Cognex interface. Only the processed data is then exposed to the myP user.
F&P Robotics uses the Cognex module in industrial settings, where the camera position at the time of recording doesn’t change.
