The Robot is equipped with 6 degrees of freedom (called axes), as shown in the
following figure.
Fig. 2.3- Robot axis identification
6-axis e.DO
Each axis has the ability to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise; in order to facilitate
their identification, the direction of rotation of the individual axes is indicated by special
labels “+” / “-” affixed directly on the Robot structure.
2.4Intended use
e.DO is suitable for use in schools / educational settings as an educational tool to
support the teaching of school subjects such as mathematics, geometry, technical
education and programming and finds various applications depending on the school of
use (elementary, middle, high schools, university, etc.).
It can be equipped with some optional devices to expand its functionalities (see details
in Chap.6. - Available options for e.DO).
The Robot and its optional devices can be used:
–by children of minimum age of 14 years (if minors, only in the presence of an adult);
in c
ase of use of the e.DO Robot in educational environments with children aged 8
or over, it is necessary to limit the activity of the children to interaction only, with
constant supervision of a trained and instructed adult and with the use of PPE for
eye protection;
–by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or with lack of
exp
erience and knowledge, on conditions that they are under the supervision of an
adequately trained and informed adult, responsible for the safe use of the Robot
itself.
14
–The aforementioned persons must not play with the equipment, nor must they
per
form cleaning and routine maintenance operations.

3.2Removal of the Robot from the packaging
Do not handle the Robot and perform the installation working with wet or damp hands
or feet.
To remove the Robot from the box inside which it is packed and transported, proceed
as follows:
–open the box from the upper side, operating carefully to avoid damaging the
components inside the box;
–remove the upper layer of expanded polyethylene packaging using the 2 corners
shown in the figure as gripping points;
–remove e.DO by grasping it by the base as shown in the figure; do not grasp e.DO
by the rest of the structure to avoid possible damage;
–after removing the packaging, check that the Robot does not show signs of
damage during transport; if it does, do not install the Robot and contact the Comau
Service Centre (https://edo.cloud/support-and-contacts/);
–verify that all the components of the Robot are correctly and permanently fixed and
that there are no wobbly parts or elements;
–check that the power supply and cables provided are intact and do not show
damage, cuts, fraying, etc.

3.3Robot positioning on supporting surface
After removing the Robot from the packaging, position it on the supporting surface.
Make sure that the supporting surface:
–is not made of particularly slippery material;
–is not inclined (horizontal plane);
–has a larger supporting surface than the surface of the Robot base.
Check that under the Robot base there are not present objects (or similar) that can alter
the Robot stability during operation, with consequent risk of overturning.

4.5.2e.DO calibration
At the first start of e.DO, the calibration procedure is required.
To perform the calibration procedure, carry out the following steps:
–using the buttons at the bottom, select the joint to be calibrated;
The e.DO calibration must be performed on all joints; we recommend a progressive
calibration of the joints, from joint 1 to 6.
If the Robot is already in the calibration position (Robot in “vertical” position), it is
possible to calibrate all the joints simultaneously by pressing “Calibrate all joints” button.
Comau Robotics Product Instruction
–using “+/-” buttons, move the selected joint as long as the calibration notches on
the Robot structure are aligned;
The axis “+/-” direction of rotation is indicated by special identification labels installed
directly on the Robot structure.
The axis movement speed can be adjusted through the slider in the center of the page.

CONFIGURATION AND CONNECTION OF THE COMMAND INTERFACE (TABLET)
–once the correct alignment is obtained, confirm by pressing “Calibrate” button;
–repeat the calibration operations for the remaining axes of the Robot.
The e.DO calibration is required:
–after turning off e.DO, setting the main switch to the 0 - OFF position
–due to lack of electrical power supply to e.DO (for various reasons such as for
example lack of power supply directly from the electrical power mains,
disconnection of the power supply cord, etc.).
The e.DO calibration is not required:
–after pressing the emergency stop push-button
–after a collision

7.2e.DO cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning operation, make sure that the Robot is powered off and
remove the plug from the power socket.
When is the e.DO cleaning required?
The general cleaning of e.DO must be performed at the end of each use.
In case of long periods of non-use, it is recommended to put e.DO inside the original
packaging or cover it appropriately with special sheets / nylon, to protect it from dust.
How to clean e.DO?
The general cleaning of e.DO must be performed using a soft bristle brush or soft damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive products, abrasive sponges, solvents or metal objects.
Carefully clean the Robot base and the related areas of the connectors; clean the
perforated plastic covers on each Robot joint. If not used, carefully clean the threaded
holes for tool installation present at the end of the Robot (Robot wrist flange).
