A company called Neuron Robotics from Worcester, Mass., has been working to simplify the design and manufacture of precision robots through 3D printing . The company recently launched a new robot development application called BowlerStudio. The app combines script control with a device management system with powerful control and processing capabilities.
According to Neuron Robotics, users can quickly design mobile robots using BowlerStudio software. The software uses the OpenCV image processing library, a configurable kinematics engine based on DH parameters, and a JCSG-based CAD and 3D modeling engine. Simply use the slider in the Creature Creator design interface to allow users to manipulate DH parameters during the design process and ultimately generate 3D printed STL files. These 3D printed files can be assembled not only into the same robot that you designed on your computer, but also with the same functionality and walking mode as you would in the BowlerStudio software.
The tool will give the user the ability to make the robot's design and manufacturing process more convenient:
̇ Create your own graphical user interface to control your robot
̇Create and control animations
̇ Ability to give your robot vision capabilities through camera-based image processing and Kinect data
ç®¡ç† Manage motors, sensors and other electronic hardware devices with a convenient interface
è¿è¡Œ Run 3D printers and other tools directly from the software
̇ Create a 3D model and simulate the motion of the model on the screen based on the layout of the part and servo
The whole process, from creating the robot design to printing and assembling it, is relatively easy. Users can complete their robot design and arrange the parts they choose in a simple software interface. Once the robot is designed, they can use a common video game joystick to drive the robot model to simulate motion on a computer screen. If they are happy with all of this, including its appearance and functionality, the next step is to generate the STL file and print it out using any desktop-facing 3D printer. The final job is to install the electronic components and assemble all the components. A fully functional robot is done this way.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, through the Cartesian command, the video game remote control handle can also be used to drive the actual robot. Users can also “train†their robots through a series of tasks, communicate with them using a video game remote, and even record the robot's movements through the BowlerStudio software.
At present, the entire platform is still in the development stage, but Neuron Robotics claims that they have made significant progress in key parts, and it is expected that the software will not be able to meet users in a short time.
