Mitsubishi Move Master RM-101
Description
The Mitsubishi Move Master RM-101 was released in April 1982 as Japan's first "microrobot for education and research". It was followed by the better Move Master II RM-501 in 1983.
This robot was widely exported outside Japan as it was useful in technical schools.
The RM-101 can be controlled by a personal computer through a Centronics printer cable.
It can be programmed in two ways:
- by using a Teaching Box with storing of all the movements by the computer
- by directly programming it, using a mix of BASIC and Assembly languages
The full RM-101 package includes:
- robotic arm
- drive unit (whose memory can be expanded with EPROMs)
- connection cables
- manual
- (optionally) teaching box
- (optionally) standard hand
- (optionally) Move Master MX-6000 computer
It's not a MSX product, but a special cable could be bought separately to use it with a MSX computer.
Original price : ¥350,000 (probably without the options)
