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.
The computer vision algorithm can detect elements and find the pickup point.
