Installation and Usage Guide

1. Interface and Button Descriptions​

The figure below shows the descriptions of the interfaces on the follower arm's base plate:

Note:

The SH1.0 interface on the follower arm is a debugging interface reserved exclusively for developers; users should not use it. Any unauthorized self-connection or development activity that results in product damage will not be covered by warranty or supported under after-sales service!

2. Follower Arm Installation Guide​

(1) Positioning the Robotic Arm​

Keep the follower arm in the standard working posture and use the C-shaped bracket to fix it to the edge of the desk, ready for use.

Posture Requirements:

  1. Before each use, the follower arm must be adjusted to the operating posture in standby; it is strictly forbidden to power on the device in any other posture, to prevent injury to personnel or damage to the product;

  2. The user can use the orientation of the two joint protrusions and the one camera-post protrusion, as well as the direction of the base, as auxiliary judgment: in the operating posture, the joint protrusions and the camera-post protrusion should point diagonally upward, with the power button at the front-left, ensuring the arm has been correctly homed.

(2) Wiring and Startup​

Insert the power cable into the power interface on the follower arm's base plate, and use a USB-to-Type-C data cable to connect the follower arm's Type-C interface to the computer's USB interface to enable data communication. Once connected, press the metal power button on the base plate; the robotic arm will play a startup animation, indicating a successful start.

Tip:

In addition to standalone single-arm operation, the follower arm can also work together with Synria's in-house leader-arm system to enable teleoperation, imitation learning, and other features.

3. Follower Arm Usage Method​

(1) Before Use

  1. Confirm that each joint axis of the robotic arm is already in the zero position;

  2. Check that all cable connections are secure and that the insulation sheathing is intact and undamaged;

  3. Wear the necessary safety protective equipment according to the actual working environment and operational needs;

  4. It is strictly forbidden to modify the robotic arm without authorization; the company is not responsible for any malfunction or accident caused by unauthorized modification;

  5. Confirm that there are no personnel or obstacles within the robotic arm's range of motion, to prevent collisions or other safety incidents;

  6. It is strictly forbidden to use this product in harsh environments, including but not limited to dusty, high-temperature, direct-sunlight, flammable/explosive, highly corrosive, or underwater locations.

(2) During Use

  1. During operation, keep the speed low and the motion steady to ensure the safety and controllability of the equipment;

  2. Stay focused during operation and anticipate the direction and trend of the robotic arm's motion in advance;

  3. Regularly check the operating status of the robotic arm and watch for any abnormal motion or noise;

  4. All control commands must ensure that the robotic arm's range of motion stays within the safe working zone; if it goes out of bounds, immediately stop the operation and cut off the power to prevent injury to personnel or damage to the equipment;

  5. It is strictly forbidden to cut off power arbitrarily while the robotic arm is running, to avoid system failure or unexpected risks.

(3) After Use

  1. After the operation is complete, return the robotic arm to a safe position;

  2. When turning off the power button, hold the robotic arm steady to ensure it remains stable during power-off, preventing mechanical shock or damage;

  3. Unplug the power plug and properly organize the cables;

  4. Store the robotic arm in a dry, room-temperature environment, avoiding damage from moisture, high temperature, and other factors.
