We, in ZMP INC., believe that a robot is the most suitable
hadns-on material for learning basic engineering ideas for
students in such disciplines as mechanical engineering, electrical
and electronic engineering, control engineering, information
engineering among others.
Humanoids attract a great deal of
attention, and so with our [ZMP e-nuvo Series], we are looking
forward to contributing most effectively to the teaching and learning of
fundamental engineering skills through our four type of robots (BASIC,ARM,WHEEL,WALK).This
Series include not only these advanced robots but also practical
textbooks so that instructors and students can immediately use their
robots in class
We are pleased to say that since 2004 our bipedal robot e-nuvo
WALK (formerly known as e-nuvo V.2.5) and our e-nuvo BASIC kit
(formerly experimental kit) have been well received in high schools,
universities and laboratories in and outside Japan.Based on
the feedback from these our users, we have perfected the robot
textbooks and created new robot models, and now we are releasing
them under the unified engineering practical program that
we call ZMP e-nuvo series.They are independent
materials so that the user has the freedom to choose the appropriate
way to read them according to his needs.
We are really looking forward for teachers to use these in class! |

With
this bipedal walking robot the student can put into
practice the technologies learned with the other models.This
robott has a distributed processing structure composed
of 4 CPUS and 12 Joints (motors- degrees of freedom)
suitable for different purposes from teaching to research.
We concentrate on controlling the whole system with
a PC, system that consists of serial links similar to
ARM.
At ZMP we also have started producing
an alternative version with the exterior covering of
nuvo |
 |
|
For
the student to learn through practice about robot motions
(motion equations) and how to control them, we present
a two-wheeled inverted pendulum robot. This robot permits
us to understand easily not only Modern Control theory
but also how to use sensors such as encoders and gyro-sensors
in our algorithms. The user also gets to know about analysis
and simulation through the use of the well-established
tools from MATLAB/Simulink |
 |
|
In order
to develop bipedal walking robots as well as industrial
arm robots, it is indispensable to use link structure
analysis (kinematics) as well as design using CAD. With
an arm robot the student can apply what he has learned
using e-nuvo BASIC to link structures similar to the ones
used in e-nuvo WALK's legs. Our textbooks cover not only
mathematical concepts such as interpolating or kinematics
applying linear algebra, but also strength analysis and
part design using 3D CAD. |
 |
|
This
set covers the basic themes for controlling and operating
robots from basic concepts about LEDs, motors and potentiometers
to themes such as Feedback control, PWM, A/D conversion,
Motor control using processors, etc. It also includes
the starter kit from Renesas Technology to study embedded
systems. It is well-suited for both beginners and experienced
developers |
 |
|
With
Windows CE as its OS and the leg structure of e-nuvo
WALK, this advanced robot sometimes called "the
walking computer" is the first consumer-oriented
robot in the market.
Although not part of the e-nuvo
Series, this stylish and sophisticated robot (designed
by Mr. Kiyoyuki Okuyama from car company Ferrari) can
show students what they can achieve by studying robotics
with [ZMP e-nuvo Series].

The idea behind our new [ZMP
e-nuvo series] is to contribute to education of engineers
with practical skills through the use of advanced robots.
Robots present a great opportunity for learning diverse
disciplines such as mechanical, electric, electronic
or control engineering. We expect the students, the
future players in tomorrow's engineering world, to acquire
the necessary knowledge to surpass the limits of today's
academia. Our [ZMP e-nuvo Series] includes not only
advanced robots, but also ready-to-use and easy to understand
textbooks. We are ready to support practical education
and further your students' interest in the world of
robotics and engineering.

| Advanced
Robots arranged in a Simple System! |
|
Lineup
of Textbooks ready to use in the classroom! |
| |
A Series of Advanced Robots, integrating several existing
technologies in their architechtures and a simple system of
textbooks to support learning through a gradual approach. |
|
|
Based
on feedback from several professors such as Prof.
Mizukawa
from Shibaura Institute of technology and Prof.
Adachi from Keio
University we have developed a series of ready-to-use
and easy to
understand textbooks. |
|
| With
the reliable quality of ZMP's PINO and
NUVO |
|
A
wide area of engineering knowledge covered efficiently! |
| |
We apply 5 years of experience in robot development using
verified techniques such as PINO ver2 internal CAN distributed
system among others. |
|
|
Adapted
to be covered in a series of 90 minute lessons,
the textbooks cover areas such as mechanical, electric,
electronic, control and information engineering. |

Experiments
to assure a complete understanding |
| |
Original
CD Motors with high torque, high speed and low backlash.
Their advantage over ordinary Servo motors is that
the student can actually learn to implement motor
control in microprocessors. |
|
|
We
continually strive to make sure students understand
the themes
through the use of simulations and experiments to
enrich the
theoretical lessons, the best approach for themes
such as
programming,control, microcontrollers, etc |
