The YouRing is a tool for enhancing the efficacy and collaboration between the user and the robot,
ensures safety and free of movement.
The robot with the YouRing can show the direction of the movement, by tracing the positions with the led.
The user can benefit of a new freedrive button, directly on the tool flange of the robot and setup specific
colors in order to trace specific behaviors, during the execution of a program,
or also to signal a particular safety mode of the robot.
With the installation of the YouRing, new Polyscope commands are available to the user:
YouRing instruction to setup lights and buzzer and Wait YouRing button instruction

In the Led Setup the user can manage the leds on the tool, by selecting one of the options: a single or

The motion tracker let the user see where the tool flange of the robot is moving, by showing leds in the
direction of the movement, with the color and behavior chosen.
In the right part it’s possible to choose the flash frequency, speed of the rotation and the trail duration
of the leds.
In the ring section it’s possible to choose manually which leds has to activate or not.
In the lower section there is the color choose palette.
Finally in the lower left section it’s possible to change the rotation wise and the duration of the lights,
which can be turned off after a defined time.
The user can test the settings before clicking “back” to return to the programming interface.

to use them independently: every key searches its YouRing.
It’s possible to unpair a couple of YouRing - USB bluetooth key by clicking the unpair
button in the Installation section, then the key is again available to be paired with a
new YouRing.
The second connector on the YouRing is a pass-through connector, which gives
power depending on the actual power consumption of the YouRing; on the peak
(see the specifications) are available 200 mA (600 mA of UR connector - 400 mA of
the YouRing).
