Systems and methods of using a hieroglyphic machine interface language for communication with auxiliary robotics in rapid fabrication environments

摘要

Disclosed are methods and systems for using hieroglyphs for communication in a rapid fabrication environment. The method includes receiving, by a control system for an articulated robotic arm, one or more images of a fabrication machine build space. The method includes identifying, by the control system, a hieroglyph present in the one or more images and translating the identified hieroglyph into one or more instructions for manipulation of the articulated robotic arm. The method includes causing the articulated robotic arm to carry out the instructions translated from the identified hieroglyph. Accordingly foreign objects are inserted into fabricated objects during an automated rapid fabrication process without extensive redesign of the rapid fabrication machine. In some implementations, an unmodified third-party stereolithographic rapid fabrication machine can be used.

主权项

1. A method of using hieroglyphs for communication in a rapid fabrication environment, the method comprising:
receiving, by a control system for an articulated robotic arm, images of a build space for a fabrication machine; identifying, by the control system, a plurality of hieroglyphs present in the images, the plurality of hieroglyphs including at least a first hieroglyph and a second hieroglyph generated by the fabrication machine, wherein the control system identifies the first hieroglyph prior to the fabrication machine generating the second hieroglyph; translating, by the control system, the identified plurality of hieroglyphs into one or more instructions for manipulation of the articulated robotic arm; and causing, by the control system, the articulated robotic arm to carry out the instructions translated from the identified plurality of hieroglyphs.
