Robot arm simulation for Automatic Brick Wall Construction in Rhino by using Taco plugin

In this practice i make a sequence for the robot arm to make its path.

First i create all the path for each brick.

The robot follow the path to go there and again follow different path to return in its original position.

First i made a grasshopper sequence to make a English bond brick. the sequence is shown in figure.

Then i take a central top point of each brick to move the robot, which later i connect with the robot path line.

the above picture explain the full diagram of the grasshopper to move the robot. and the picture below explain only robot configuration without the path.

The video of simulation is shown in video below. at the time 0:46

Here the problem is that, the simulation is very fast. And i am unable to figure out what i need to do.

So to look again, i make the path only for 3 brick. the diagram is shown below.

Now with this diagram i did the simulation again. in this one also the speed is fast bu here we can track the robot arm. the video can be seen in the video below at time 0:20

I think the time squeeze whatever the number of path i add. it might be because i use merge block in the diagram to merge all the path.

the rhino and grasshopper file can be found in here.
