Scorpion

Scorpion is an open source plugin for industrial robot control within Rhino Grasshopper. Initially built to manipulate Universal Robots, we're now looking to incorporate Kuka, ABB & other common robot platforms. If you're interested in joining this initiative, get in touch.

Industrial Improvisation investigates how kinetic design and industrial robotics can embody the complexity of movement found in contemporary dance. Using structured improvisational techniques, a combination of pre-choreographed and improvised performances have been designed to form a gestural dialog between a dancer and two robotic performers. The result is an emerging set of movements that construct an unpredictable and evolving choreography...

Robotic Bricklaying, Towards Adaptive Robotic Programing

http://issuu.com/khaledelashry/docs/khaled_elashry_robotic_bricklaying

After the recent move of the field of architecture towards fabrication, the use of industrial robots surfaced as a replacement of custom fabrication machines. Robots are typically controlled with strict offline programing to produce controlled results similar to how robots are used in manufacturing. However, in construction robots did not manage to replace humans in on site operations. In the bricklaying profession, the craftsman uses his tuition to adapt to the material he is working with and to the changing work environment. This raised the question of the ability to build a system that can respond to changes in order to replicate the craft using robots. The research focuses on two main aspects, of bricklaying: The craft of laying brick and mortar itself and the ability to keep track of the work on a larger scale...
