Light painting with a Fanuc CR10ia/L and Python

For a recent conference, I wanted to quickly demonstrate some robot control from CAD to robot although we’ve not yet integrated an end-effector. So we came upon the idea of light painting!

Public engagement event

As part of the University of Leeds’ annual public engagement event Be Curious, we formed a team of PGRs to bring a hands-on robotics experience to families in the Leeds area. The focus was on robot sensing and human robot collaboration - as part of this, we used a couple of Turtlebots as a demo of some SLAM techniques, and I took on the programming of a PincherX robot arm which was mounted on a table.
