- Embedded Programming, Motor Control,
PID/Modern Control Theory-
March 28th, 2011, ZMP INC. (Tokyo,
Bunkyo ward, CEO: Hisashi Taniguchi) began to sell
the “e-nuvo BASIC & WHEEL Global Package” which
is package product of our popular product “Motor control experiment kit e-nuvo BASIC”, “Wheeled robot e-nuvo WHEEL” and textbooks written in English. The price is US$8,600. User can also purchase
“e-nuvo BASIC” and “e-nuvo WHEEL” separately.
- Background
ZMP have
been providing the training curriculum using robots since 2004 toward training
needs for practical engineers. Recently, computerization is rapidly spread in
the manufacturing industry including the automotive industry. Various devices
and applications using sensors have sprung up around the world. The engineer who
has skills of developing embedded system using sensors, computer and actuators
are required not only in Japan but also in abroad. Therefore, we release this
product to respond these needs.
- About “e-nuvo BASIC & WHEEL Global Package”
"e-nuvo BASIC" and "e-nuvo WHEEL" is used for engineer training of major company in automotive or
electric industry and a lot of universities, technical colleges and so on. This
package is consist of "e-nuvo BASIC", "e-nuvo WHEEL", optional
modules like line tracing, inverted pendulum, wheeled inverted pendulum. This
also contains 4 textbooks of embedded programming, line tracing, modern control theory and modern control experiment using MATLAB
written in English. Students/engineers can understand control engineering
deeply because they can learn through using robots.

- About “e-nuvo BASIC” and ”e-nuvo WHEEL”
“e-nuvo BASIC” is the experimental kit to study the basics of
electronic devices such as motors, potentiometers, LEDs, Motor Control using a
microprocessor including themes such as A/D conversion, PWM, Feedback control
etc. “e-nuvo WHEEL” is two-wheeled inverted pendulum
robot. Students/engineers can use this robot as not only two-wheeled inverted
pendulum but also line tracing and inverted pendulum by changing some
mechanical parts. This robot permits them to understand embedded system and its
programming, Motion equation, Motor control theory (PID and Modern Control) and
also to understand how to use sensors such as encoders and gyros in algorithms.
The student also gets to learn about analysis and simulation through the use of
the well-established tools from MATLAB/Simulink. "e-nuvo BASIC" and "e-nuvo WHEEL" are popular ZMP product which is used for engineer training for global
company such as automotive and electric industry and a lot of universities,
technical colleges and so on.

About ZMP INC.
The
company was established in January 2001, based on the results of the research
encouraged by the Kitano Symbiotic System Project, under the jurisdiction of
Japan‘s MEXT. Along with the sales of our humanoid robots Pino and nuvo, we developed our home robot business with
the music robot miuro. Miuro received an award from the Robotics Society of Japan, as well as the Robot of
the Year award from the METI in 2007 in the category small and medium ventures.
Our RT(Robot Technology) solutions business, e-nuvo, also received the Robot of the Year award in 2008,
handed by the head of the Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and
Regional Innovation, JAPAN (SMERJ). From 2009, we released Car Robotics
Platform RoboCar® series for R&D field of EV or
next generation mobility. Also we released 9-axis wireless motion sensor IMU-Z
for R&D field of healthcare. ZMP is an innovative company constantly
exploring new fields.
