Robotic Fabrication with Grasshopper

Overview

Hi everyone!

This repo is dedicated to using Rhino-Grasshopper with the Robot plugin, showcasing how Rhino-Grasshopper can assist in design-fabrication processes.

Features

• Parametric Design: Leverage Grasshopper's capabilities to design parametric artefact.
• Robotic Control: Access scripts for various robot (mostly UR).
• Toolpath Generation: Create precise toolpaths for different fabrication processes.
• Simulation: Visualize and simulate robotic movements before execution.
• Modular Workflows: Adaptable workflows for different robots and fabrication techniques.

Useful Resources

• Robot Plugin: Robots Plugin
• Universal Robot (Offline Simulator): URSim-Grasshopper-Link

Getting Started for Github

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/LoyWeiWin/CollaborativeRoboticArm.git
2. Install Dependencies: Follow the README.md for plugin installation.
3. Explore Examples: Learn from provided example projects.
4. Customize: Adapt scripts to your project needs and contribute back.

Getting Started for Grasshopper

1. Grasshopper Environment: Make sure always locked your grasshopper environment before you get started.

Frequently Asked Question

1. OfflineSimulator : If you wish to use URSim (Offline Simulator) please follow a-vi-shek's workflow to download offline simulator
2. Robot Plugin : Please use '_PackageManager' within the cmd prompt in Rhino to install the Robot plugin.
