Delta Bot Test

First test by Brian Harms of a robotic delta bot controlled through Firefly.  Motor control contains no smoothing yet, and the servo mounts are all but stable.

Fairly successful first Delta Bot run. No smoothing yet, and the servo mounts are all but stable, so I have high hopes for the robot-mounted version.

Robotics Platform for Hexapods

The video demonstrates an experimental hexapod robot with an integrated Kinect sensor that tracks real-time human gestures. These are fed into a 3D model allowing the robot to follow and learn. The project was developed by Future Cities Lab R&D.

Delta Bot Print Head Test

A quick glimpse of the definition behind the mechanics, a preview of the digital delta bot, and finally the physical delta bot working in unison with it's digital counterpart.

Delta Bot in Action

First documented operation of the A_FAB robot. It sits idle, stands, walks, changes the position of its end effector, and extrudes a material in specific patterns.  A prototype for a robot capable of creating brand new built environments for itself on a print bed potentially unlimited in size.

A_FAB is a mobile 3D-printing robot which is designed as an operative within a broader framework of flexible manufacturing machines / robots which would inhabit, oversee, and participate in the operation of the factories of the future.
