I am currently working in the aromatic robot arm wall construction research project.
First i did the the simulation of wood strut wall construction manulaly.
I generate the path by taking the points for each struts.
This take a lot of time.
Here first i will explain how now to work and then i will explain how to work.
But the key thing to know is that “ DON’T USE YOUR ENERGY TO WORK IN THE THINGS THAT COMPUTER CAN DO, MAKE A COMPUTER TO DO THAT WORK.”
- HOW NOT TO GENERATE THE PATH.
the video in below is generated my manual path making,
here is another video where i make the wood strut wall manually, this take my continuously 11 hour, i did all manually which i shouldn’t do.
Here, first i upload the geometry wall file that i created in rhino in the format of .sat
Which remove all the lines and points and only allow me to use geometry.
Then i create the each new geometry component so that i can show and hide the particular geometry.
All the process of making the wall by manually is in this video below.
2. AUTOMATED PATH GENERATION PROCESS.
Here first we make the path in the rhino, by using rhinopython.
The python code attach herewith at the last will generate the the path as a single poly line.
The line is then exported in the .dxf file which allows to upload lines in the Robot studio.
The line then transfer to the auto path making.
The path automatically generated by the robot studio have problem with the direction of target.
So i aligned all the target path with one target i generate manually with required direction.
Most of the path worked after that. some path might be out of reach, which need to fixed with selecting less wall for one time in rhino, since the robot cannot reach the target. or we can adjust the robot position so that it can reach all the target.
Then all we have to do is synchronize to rapid.
The final animation of the wok is in video below.
The files are located here.
