| summary |
The studies presented in this project employ workflows that enable multi-planar robotic bending of metal tubes with high accuracy and repeatability using a 6-axis industrial robot with a custom end-effector and external 2-axis positioner. This enables quick fabrication and assembly of complex spatial tubular configurations without the need for jigs or falsework support. The method makes possible the accurate fabrication of complex, closed polyline curve loop configurations that are topologically similar to knots in mathematical knot theory |
