Control, Convenience and Connectivity
The Gen3 embedded controller makes it extremely practical and simple to connect your robot in a number of ways and is adaptable for multiple application needs. Indeed, you have multiple ways of controlling it, including bypassing the controller for direct access to each individual actuator with closed-loop control at 1 kHz. Kinova's Gen3 robot is adaptable for varying levels of expertise to test and perform simple or complex grasping and manipulation tasks.
