Abstract

This article presents initial configuration work and use of the robotic platform and manipulator in question. The development of the ideal configuration for using this robot serves as a guide for new users and also validates its functionality for use in projects. Husky is a large payload capacity and power systems robotics development platform that accommodates a wide variety of payloads, customized to meet research needs. Together with the Cobot UR5 Manipulator attached to its base, it expands the application area of its capacity in projects. Advances in robots and mobile manipulators have revolutionized industries by automating tasks that previously required human intervention. These innovations alone increase productivity but also reduce operating costs, which makes the company more competitive in an evolving global market. Therefore, this article investigates the functionalities of this robot to validate its execution in robotics projects.
