Robotic Bartender – What can a $99 Arduino-compatible controller and 6 BLDC servo motors do?

We challenged a small team of engineers to demonstrate the flexibility and power of the new controller. They came up with a robotic bartender that lets you order one of 130,000 possible drink combinations for the perfect cocktail.

Rochester, NY: Teknic's Robotic Bartender uses 1 of Teknic's new ClearCore controllers (Arduino compatible) and 6 ClearPath integrated servo motors. We challenged a small team of engineers to demonstrate the flexibility and power of the new controller. They came up with a robotic bartender that lets you order one of 130,000 possible drink combinations for the perfect cocktail.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
