In this video I restored a 20 plus year old industrial robot arm, a Kawasaki FC006N with a C80 controller. I Got it communicating to my PC program that's running machine vision through a webcam using EmguCV, a C# wrapper for Open CV. This is a near $10k project I've been working on over the last year. I plan to have the robot do more useful things coming up. Remember to like if you liked it and share, thanks for watching!

Jenga bot!

@mikelastname 2 месяца назад

Dude, that is awesome. Don't let that manipulator whack you or it will break something.

@mikelastname 2 месяца назад

Oh, the end made me wish you could get it to play Jenga, maybe with a bit of ML thrown in so it becomes virtually unbeatable.

Outstanding work indeed. Excellent video including your journey and no doubt will benefit and urge others to explore these areas. Thank you for sharing and great to see your results. A perfect example of how re-purposing a 2nd user robot can be accomplished and an excellent achievement. Well done..............

Great job man! I've been searching this type of video for a while. I wanted to get one too, but couldnt find a real purpose for the robot to help me daily, like the robot arm being more an assistant. You gave me some project ideas haha. I was thinking about what if you mix indoor gardening, the robot arm and image recognition. Like a fully automated garden. You put the arm on some rail system, so that i can move arround the "room" where the garden is, and using the image recognition can figure out if the vegetable/fruit/plant is ready to be harvest. And all the irigation system would be automated too, (some hydroponics stuff idk). It would be a really big and intersting project. What do you think?

@jonathanhornell-kennedy4521 2 месяца назад

Could you use a pneumatically actuated self-centering gripper instead of the vacuum pad? It would at least make sure the boards are in the same position relative to the end effector once clamped.

@coybeardmore 2 месяца назад

Yes, that could improve accuracy, as long as you simulate the clarences needed to grab the part from the side.

@Alex_Vir Месяц назад

Just out of curiosity of safty can you set digital stops for the arm, so that it doesn't accept values that are outside of its workplace, like behind it?

@coybeardmore Месяц назад

Yes you can, I could filter it to only accept a certain range of positions. Built in is what's called a soft stop which constantly monitors the robot's positions and stops it if the movement would result in a collision.

hahaha perfect ending

Olá Coy, como vai? Por favor você conhece alguma maneira de conseguir um programa de simulação semelhante ao kuka.sim ou visual componentes que não possua custo de licença? Muito obrigado se puder ajudar.
