This post shows an algebraic approach to robotic fabrication. The desirable tangent vector of the tool, expressed in a closed-form, directly specifies the robot codes (KRL) for hot-wire cut. This is a radical demonstration of how javaKUKA manages toolpath planning without 3D representation of the workpiece or using industrial CAM software.  The product (workpiece) is […]

Connecting a camera to a KUKA robot enables the robot to observe the environment and react responsively. The low-level information captured by the camera, namely the pixels, is transformed into a certain meaningful signal that constantly informs the robot’s motion. This post briefly introduces the connection and the communication between the vision system and KUKA. 1. […]
