Through a configurable object-oriented design, Actin applies to many robot
types. It works with fixed-base manipulators, as would be typical for factory
automation , and with mobile manipulators, as would be appropriate for home
entertainment."

"With Actin, roboticists are free to focus on what the robot does," said
James English, Chief Technical Officer for Energid Technologies.
"Actin is more than just an easy-to-implement robotic controller," said
James Bacon, Principal Engineer with Energid Technologies, "it is a collection
of the many software tools needed to build , simulate, and demonstrate a

The principal work will be performed in Hanover, with a portion of the
effort located at NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va.
The Actin toolkit provides libraries for the Windows platform that
robotics developers can use to quickly create complex, intelligent control
systems.
In addition, Actin includes the ability to dynamically simulate robots,
visually render the robots, express control systems using the Extensible
Markup Language (XML), create XML schemas describing the control-system
language , communicate control systems over a network, incorporate machine
vision, and implement force control .

and Actin produces algorithms for setting joint positions and rates to achieve
specified hand motion. Customers include commercial
