AR4 Robot Startup & Commissioning Guide – Mark II & Mark III

This video guides you through powering up and calibrating your AR4 robot (Mark II/Mark III). Learn how to install control software, configure the Teensy 4.1 board, test encoders/limit switches, jog axes, and run auto-calibration. For users who’ve completed assembly (Chapter 2 in manual).

AR4 Robot Programming Guide: Mastering Motion, Automation, and Precision

Learn joint/Cartesian jogging, motion programs (linear/arc/circle moves), loops, position registers for offsets, I/O control for grippers, conditional jumps, track integration, and troubleshooting. Ideal for users who've completed assembly/startup—unlock your AR4's full potential.

AR4 Robot Grippers & I/O Control: Pneumatic and Servo Grippers

This tutorial shows how to install and program both pneumatic (high-strength) and servo (precision) grippers, including Arduino Nano wiring and I/O control. You'll also learn to configure limit switches, program conditional logic, and use Teensy board I/O for complete robot automation solutions.

AR4 Auxiliary Axis & Com Device Upgrades

This video covers the latest AR4 Mark III upgrades, including new EG-series gear motors for Joint 6, redesigned 360° limit switches for Joints 4/6, and expanded calibration options for external axes. We also demonstrate powerful new software features like multi-stage calibration, advanced if/then programming logic, and seamless barcode scanner integration for automated sorting applications.

AR4 Vision System Setup Guide

Learn how to configure any USB webcam with the AR4 robot's vision system, including workspace calibration, contrast adjustment, and object teaching for precise part detection. This tutorial covers multi-part recognition, gripper positioning strategies, and automated pick-and-place programming using the latest 2.2 software update.

AR4 Robot Kinematics Explained

Discover how to calculate robot arm positioning using Denavit-Hartenberg parameters, transformation matrices, and geometric methods for both forward and inverse kinematics. The tutorial covers spherical wrist orientation, joint singularity handling, and practical implementation with downloadable calculation tools.

AR4 G-Code & Safety Upgrades (basic 3 axis cartesian)

Learn how to process complex SVG designs into optimized G-Code files that run directly from the robot's SD card, plus see the new emergency stop button installation for safer operation. The update significantly improves execution speed and adds critical safety functionality to your AR4 robot.
