MeshBot

Automated Robotic Assembly and Fabrication

MeshBot

A Collaborative Automated Robotic Fabrication Platform.

Integrating industrial robotic arms, computer vision, and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). 

Internship project @Autodesk Pier9, Summer 2016

MeshBot is a fully automated robotic fabrication for mesh structures. It consists of two robotic arm as the holder and welder that fabricate a structure made of pre-fabricated triangular metal parts.

The robotic end effector assembly has two main units: 1. Microsoft Kinect for computer vision, and 2. A wirelessly controlled electropermanent magnetic gripper.
