ROBOTIC FABRICATION AT THE ANGEWANDTE ROBOTICS LAB (ARL) / ROBOTER-FERTIGUNG IM ANGEWANDTE ROBOTICS LAB (ARL)

Abstract

DIGITAL TOOLS As digital tool(s), here generally referred to as software, Grasshopper3D was used, a parametric and visual programming environment in the CAD software Rhinoceros3D, which allows for the creation of parameter-based, individual and customized algorithms. Grasshopper3D offers a repertoire of standard functions, which can be extended by third-party plug-ins, like KUKA|prc, which allows for offline programming (machine syntax/code > offline simulation) of KUKA robots.1
