Abstract: A robot system is configured to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) objects using closed-loop, computer vision-based control. The robot system initiates fabrication based on a set of fabrication paths along which material is to be deposited. During deposition of material, the robot system captures video data and processes that data to determine the specific locations where the material is deposited. Based on these locations, the robot system adjusts future deposition locations to compensate for deviations from the fabrication paths. Additionally, because the robot system includes a 6-axis robotic arm, the robot system can deposit material at any locations, along any pathway, or across any surface. Accordingly, the robot system is capable of fabricating a 3D object with multiple non-parallel, non-horizontal, and/or non-planar layers.

Abstract: A robot is configured to assist an end-user with creative tasks. While the end-user modifies the work piece, the robot observes the modifications made by the end-user and determines one or more objectives that the end-user may endeavor to accomplish. The robot then determines a set of actions to perform that assist the end-user with accomplishing the objectives.

Abstract: A control engine is trained to operate a robotic camera according to a variety of different cinematographic techniques. The control engine may reconfigure the robotic camera to respond to a set of cues, to enforce a set of constraints, or to apply one or more characteristic styles. A training engine trains a network within the control engine based on training data that exemplifies cue responses, enforced constraints, and characteristic styles.

Abstract: A control application implements computer vision techniques to cause a positioning robot and a welding robot to perform fabrication operations. The control application causes the positioning robot to place elements of a structure at certain positions based on real-time visual feedback captured by the positioning robot. The control application also causes the welding robot to weld those elements into place based on real-time visual feedback captured by the welding robot. By analyzing the real-time visual feedback captured by both robots, the control application adjusts the positioning and welding operations in real time.

Abstract: A robot system is configured to identify gestures performed by an end-user proximate to a work piece. The robot system then determines a set of modifications to be made to the work piece based on the gestures. A projector coupled to the robot system projects images onto the work piece that represent the modification to be made and/or a CAD model of the work piece. The robot system then performs the modifications.

Abstract: A motion capture setup records the movements of an operator, and a control engine then translates those movements into control signals for controlling a robot. The control engine may directly translate the operator movements into analogous movements to be performed by the robot, or the control engine may compute robot dynamics that cause a portion of the robot to mimic a corresponding portion of the operator.

Abstract: An agent engine allocates a collection of agents to scan the surface of an object model. Each agent operates autonomously and implements particular behaviors based on the actions of nearby agents. Accordingly, the collection of agents exhibits swarm-like behavior. Over a sequence of time steps, the agents traverse the surface of the object model. Each agent acts to avoid other agents, thereby maintaining a relatively consistent distribution of agents across the surface of the object model over all time steps. At a given time step, the agent engine generates a slice through the object model that intersects each agent in a group of agents. The slice associated with a given time step represents a set of locations where material should be deposited to fabricate a 3D object. Based on a set of such slices, a robot engine causes a robot to fabricate the 3D object.

Abstract: A technique for displaying a representative path associated with a robotic device. The technique includes detecting at least one reference point within a first image of a workspace, generating the representative path based on path instructions associated with the robotic device and the at least one reference point, and displaying the representative path within the workspace.
