Final photo documentation for “Gummyism”

[assemblingallsorts-sp16]

Gummyism: a neo-deconstructivist post-structuralist philosophy that is as deep as it is delicious. Using Processing as an interface between Grasshopper and an UR3 Robot Arm, the robot picks up the gummy bears based on color and deposits them according to parametrically designed drop off locations. The bears are then packed, melted, cut into thin slices, and hung. .da Ying

Robot Arm Test 04 - varying drop-off points

Robot now has different drop points.

Robot Arm Test 03 - lighting & corrected camera mapping 

 Added light tube to increase acuracy. Remapped camera detection area to Grasshopper, so pickup location is now accurate.

Robot Arm Test 02 - camera, detect color, pick&drop 

 1. Select gummy bear color in Processing. 2. Camera detect gummy bear color and location. 3. Pick gummy bear and drop in cup.

Issues: 1. Camera does not map correctly to table surface, so pick up at offset location. 2. Program does not loop.
