Just finished the inverse kinematics of my 3D printed delta robot. Now it goes up and makes one circle before going back to the start position...

Model of a Delta Robot, 2017-2018 LEGO

For a while, I had been keeping a little notebook of design sketches and notes for various DIY concept printers and stampers.  These were usually impractical devices for semi-automating the process of mark-making, with an eye toward the production of manually produced pixel-based images.  During the research surrounding that effort, I read a lot about CNC machines.  One design that fascinated me was the Delta robot, a three-armed, high-speed, high-precision robot originally designed to arrange many small items quickly for packaging.  It has grown to have many applications including 3D printing.  

To get more familiar with how such a device is built and operates, I decided to make a non-motorized working model from conveniently available materials.  It was a fun challenge.  MoC/my own creation, not from a preengineered LEGO set.  Each of the three types of joint was its own problem to solve.  Making a triangle shape from LEGO which only has studs in perpendicular arrays was enough of a problem that at first I built a square-based one with four arms.  It was satisfying when I finally came up with a triangular solution.  If I return to this model, I might add an “end effector” to the movable head.  The end effector is the part which does the actual work of grabbing or printing.

Follow-on projects may include a redesign with LEGO motors and computer control, which would require significant reinforcement to the arms which are currently laughably fragile.  If I get ambitious I might try something more serious with hobby motors, aluminum arms, and computer control.  Of course, that wouldn’t satisfy the more manual side of the initial inspiration, so I may need to pursue that at some point, too.

Delta robot based mask dispenser

Delta robot based mask dispenser

Necessity is the mother of invention. Currently, we have to protect ourselves and our fellow human beings. Masks help with this. But how can we make dispensing safer and easier? Creative minds and tinkerers from igus have designed a contactless mask dispenser. A Delta robot from igus is used together with the igus Robot Control. In addition, a D1 motor controller is used to drive a linear…

igus low cost automation: Mask dispensers – save costs with the right robot

First published on igus Blog.Due to the current situation with the Covid-19 virus, protective masks are our daily companion, whether in the supermarket or when visiting the doctor. Whether self-sewn or produced masks, almost everyone has at least one mask for their own needs. But what can you do if you have forgotten the mask and still have to go shopping? More and more vending machines are…

Behavioural Robotics

Behavioural Robotics

This is a Project that was done for the Digital Ecologies 2013 during my Msc Adaptive Architecture and Computation at University College London

This term I tried to use an old Delta Robot and animate it. The object is to make the Robot to behave in a way that seems “alive” but most importantly to simulate in a certain degree how people pay attention or what seems most important. This involves how to use computer vision to distinguish important data of the real world like movement or people and map them in the behaviour of the robot. Besides developing a series of behaviours from computer vision an effort was given on how the robot could better adapt to the world, from gathering data and rethinking its behaviour.
