The PowerCube Arm (Also known as the Power Arm or PowerBot Arm) is a jointed manipulator arm composed of several PowerCube Pan/Tilt Modules, plus a "gripper" end effector which is an option accessory for a PowerBot. See the PowerCube Pan/Tilt Modules for more information. The ArPowerCube library provides a software API for controlling the arm joints via a CANBUS interface. (ArPowerCube is a separate library that must be used in addition to ARIA to provide classes to control the PowerCube Arm; the ArP2Arm class in ARIA, and the arm control commands in the robot firmware, are for control of the Pioneer arm, not the PowerCube arm.)
