Pens for a robot. 30/10/22

Ideas evolve , expand and change. I love this about working on a longer project and allowing some time to play. I'm off to Leeds next week to install my e waste collection boxes but am also going down to play with a robot!

When I visited last I got introduced to the kuka robot and am collaborating with Sam a phd student who is writing a program to make the kuka draw. I'm making the tools to attach to the robot arm to hold the pen.

I've been starting this process by making a steel quill ... mashing upnancient and modern again....
