Amatrol's 88-RSS-1-A Pegasus Robotics Simulation Learning System teaches the programming and operation of the Pegasus articulated servo robot. The Pegasus simulation software includes powerful 3D graphic simulation tools that reproduce the Pegasus and the workcells in realistic 3D images with dynamic characteristics similar to actual operation. Students can view 4 different views of a workspace simultaneously. Solids modeling technology provides a realistic view of program results, including collision detection.

  The programs simulated in the Pegasus simulation software are the same programs used by the actual robot. Students can simulate an application using the simulation software and then transfer that program to the robot for actual operation. This capability enables multiple students to effectively share a single robot, a "must" for project-oriented classrooms. The software is Windows compatible and includes a virtual teach pendant, interpreter window for execution viewing, digital I/O handling, and an excellent library of workcell objects to use as-is or to create tailored workcells. Modern robotic engineers and operators are using this form of graphic modeling to create, test and extend robotic applications.

  Teach Pendant Simulation - The Pegasus simulation software includes a virtual teach pendant that works just like the teach pendant on the actual robot itself. The teach pendant includes live keys that are operated by a mouse click and display that updates itself in a realistic manner as keys are activated. The teach pendant can be used to jog the virtual robot to various positions in the workcell and teach points that can later be used by the program.

  Powerful Simulation Capabilities - The 88-RSS-1-A Pegasus Simulation Software enables students to simulate the robot in actual workcell applications. It includes dynamic properties such as collision detection and parts that can be manipulated by the robot. The software that actually controls the robot is used in simulation mode to develop programs that can be run in the virtual workcell window. Once the program and robot points are tested and verified in simulation the user can switch the robot control software back into application mode and control the robot, or the program and points can be transferred to another computer for robot operation. Also, programs and points from robots can be opened in simulation for editing and changes.

  Workcell Modeling - Standard workcells are part of the simulation software's library, enabling students to quickly set up exercises provided in the Pegasus student learning materials. Students can also create workcells of their own design to further extend the learning capabilities of the software. Each workcell referenced in the actual Amatrol Pegasus Robot student learning materials is included in the 88-RSS-1-A workcell library, so students can quickly test the robot programs they develop as directed by the student learning materials. The software library also includes individual components that can be used by the students to create their own robot programs.
