Industrial Robot meets Nintendo Wii Remote

This is a small presentation of a university project I have worked on for the last 6 months.

Using a real-time system the orientation of the Wii Remote is polled and sent to the Stäubli TX 60 industrial robot.

The concept is stolen from a game named Kororinpa but the graphics are little more realistic :-)

This was done at the chair Robotics and Embedded Systems Knoll of the Technical University of Munich.

Great example of the flexability and realtime capabilities of the VAL3 robot control framework. Great Job!!

Actually I use a custom real time interface that was created by another student at my university. The Wii Remote is connected via BlueTooth to my Notebook which then calculates the robot configuration and sends it via network cable to the robot control unit.

I don't think the real time interface is based on VAL3 but I don't know for sure to be honest :-)

But thank you!

NEXT TIME SHOW THE WHOLE ROBOT DUDE.

NEXT TIME SAY PLEASE AND DON'T USE CAPS LOCK DUDE.

Anyway you can see the whole robot. It is just a robot arm so there is not much more really...

@Lemmy1982 Do you have available any documentation for the interface. At least a part how it works. Because I actually dont think that VAL3 is capable to do this. Real time moves in VAL3 are pretty limited.

Very cool!! You inspired me to make a virtual reproduction of your video (see the V-REP simulation in video response)

Labyrinths today are way less complex these days. I have an old one from the 80s. Ironic how the controls have gotten so much more complex! lol

hey! i got that same exact labyrinth set-up

[DJRockinRob]

Man ...that was cool!!

Hello,

I hope you can see the message. Do you still use the TX 60?

[jimday666]

very good, indeed photorealistic graphics

[PikeMan44]

totally fake xD

Amazing! Very nice work!
