弥合抽象艺术与机器人绘图之间的差距

艺术ists often introduce innovative possibilities for robotic technology that other users don’t consider such as robotic drawing.

Whenever an artist uses a robot in their project, it raises new questions that apply to many conventional robot applications like…

用机器人制造时如何保持“人力触摸”?

机器人可以创造一致且令人愉悦的东西吗?

What new designs are possible by using a robot instead of manual fabrication?

艺术家经常喜欢使用Robodk,因为它的简单界面非常适合经验丰富的机器人用户。过去,我们报告了包括的项目肖像绘画与kuka机器人机器人制造的艺术装置, 和室内设计的超级3D打印

This latest artistic application of RoboDK causes us to question the very nature of robotic art.

艺术人类触摸的问题

机器人创造的艺术和人类手的艺术有什么区别?

近年来,艺术与技术之间的线条略有突出,伴随着人工智能系统创造的艺术兴起。这导致了很多人来说AI艺术是否真的是艺术如果它不是由人类创造的。陪审团仍然存在这个问题。

When it comes to painting and drawing, one factor that comes into effect is the inherent inconsistency of humans. Even the most skilled painters in the world would paint the same art piece slightly differently every time.

这些随机 -但不是完全随机- 变体是让艺术令人愉悦的看法的一部分。

然而,机器人完全一致。

When a painting robot in an automotive factory draws a logo on the side of a car, it will be the same every time.

您如何用一个没有那么一致的机器人创造艺术,即它出现的“制造”?

介绍...艺术家Nicholas Licausi和机器人绘图

一个正在解决这些问题的艺术家是Nicholas LiCausi.

Nicholas is a designer and artist from the Tulane School of Architecture in New Orleans, Louisiana. There, he works as a Director of Fabrication where he oversees the operations of several digital laboratories, including 3D printing and CNC.

His work covers a broad range of mediums and topics. His past projects include a virtual reality art exhibition, a parklet constructed of recycled pallets, and a conceptual design that reimagined the city metro as a rollercoaster.

尼古拉斯进入机器人的工作采用了相同的技术,通常与制造工具一起使用,而是操纵艺术家的工具,专门的画笔和笔。

The Robotic Setup

尼古拉斯的各种机器人项目都是基于通用机器人UR 5E协作机器人和定制设计的绘图工具。机器人编程设置基于RoboDk。

自定义绘图工具

对于机器人的“业务结束”,尼古拉斯需要将机器人的手腕连接到刷子或笔。他经历了各种各样的设计,直到他到达了一个为艺术任务所需的灵活性和刚性提供完善的权衡的工具。

该工具是用透明和弹性树脂印花的3D。它利用直线套筒轴承为工具提供轻微的灵活性。

他如何使用Robodk

通过Robodk,Rhinoceros 3D CAD封装和机器人教导吊坠的组合来实现编程。

By using RoboDK’s native plugin for Rhino,他可以轻松地发送直接t轨迹o the robot from the CAD file. Rhino is popular among designers, architects, and artists for its flexibility in 2D drafting and modeling complex shapes.

Nicholas explains:

“Robodk在桥接犀牛和通用机器人之间的差距是必不可少的。我们能够直接连接到机器人,并精确地与我们的各种工作曲面对齐。Robodk允许我们快速原型并在远程工作时模拟设计。在大流行期间,在努力尝试之前,这在大流行期间是非常宝贵的。“

3 of Nicholas’s Projects that Explore Robotic Drawing

以下是尼古拉斯与他的机器人设置一起使用的3个项目:

1. Robotic Painting

Here, Nicholas sought to explore how the same robot program could produce vastly different artworks simply by changing the variable of the type of paintbrush that was used.

机器人也被指示将画笔浸入整个绘画过程中不同点的涂料中。尽管机器人运动保持一致,但这种简单的变化也产生了非常不同的绘画。

2. Generative Drawing

The final application shares some similarities withthe robotic portraiture project that we reported on in 2016因为它涉及将人们的面部转变为机器人图纸。

尼古拉斯使用蚱蜢(犀牛3D中的视觉编程语言)将人们的面部的图像转换为矢量图。然后,他重新称解了这些图像并使用机器人将由此产生的艺术品绘制到纸上。

3. Non-Planar Notation

使用Robodk的一个好处是它可以让您访问高级编程选项,而无需您计算自己的复杂代数和代码您自己的算法。

在这个项目中,尼古拉斯探讨了使用机器人在弯曲表面上直接创建艺术品的可能性,例如管道。他使用3D扫描仪将曲面数字化为CAD模型,然后将其导入Robodk进行编程。

你能从机器人艺术作品中学到什么?

If you are an artist yourself, projects like Nicholas’ show some of the immense possibilities that you can access by using a robot and RoboDK.

But, even if you are using robots for more conventional applications, you can still learn something from projects like these.

艺术项目挑战我们重新考虑机器人的可能性。

例如,只需考虑您可以通过质疑您可以使用机器人的工具来添加到您产品的独特触摸!
