The DynaMyte DM2000 is a miniature desktop mill from the 80s that was set up for CNC control. There were other various models, including the highly sought after DM2400 with a larger workspace. The hallmark of all of their machines is their high rigidity and sheer heft, which is in direct opposition to the recentContinue reading “DynaMyte DM2000 CNC Mill”

Cable-Driven Parallel Robot Simulation
Cable Driven Parallel Robots (CDPR) are lightweight, versatile, and have benefits that let them compete with gantry style and serial-arm manipulators. A CDPR is a mechanism with an end effector that is oriented and translated through tensioning flexible cables, rather than rotating solid links of a classic industrial robotic arm. Because CDPRs do not haveContinue reading “Cable-Driven Parallel Robot Simulation”
eSprite: It Runs!
The short of this post: I’ve got my first functional test done! I think it was an absolute success. I was able to drive, reverse, use my signals, headlights, etc. The acceleration is adequate, and when stepping on the gas it simply sounds fantastic! Very futuristic, like something powerful spooling up. The downsides are thatContinue reading “eSprite: It Runs!”
eSprite: FIRST CHARGE
Progress has come a lot faster recently. I’m already moving past the first charge into troubleshooting the motor controller for that first spin-up. I’m anxiously anticipating the completion of this project before I have to put it away for the New England winter! J1772 socket To charge the car I thought it best to useContinue reading “eSprite: FIRST CHARGE”
OpenCV, ROS-I, & ABB IRB1600 Industrial Arm
In my industrial robotics course at WPI my team and I worked to implement an object-following industrial arm using OpenCV, ROS-I, and an ABB IRB1600 arm. The premise of the work came from our senior design and fabrication project, where we intend to have a robot ‘observe’ invasive lionfish. To demonstrate progress on the visionContinue reading “OpenCV, ROS-I, & ABB IRB1600 Industrial Arm”
