KUKAprc: Parametric Robot Control for Visual Programming Language Grasshopper

The International Association for Robots in Architecture has released an update to it's Grasshopper plugin: KUKA:prc.

Grasshopper is visual programming language built on top of the Rhino3D modeler. Grasshopper can be used to generate complex 3d structures procedurally by chaining together operations using its node-based IDE.

KUKA:prc enables you to program industrial robots directly out of the parametric modeling environment, including a full kinematic simulation of the robot. The generated files can be executed at the KUKA robot, without requiring any additional software. The new release includes several preset profiles existing KUKA robots and is free (at least for the time being) to download and test here.

RedZone Robotics - Solo Unmanned Inspection Robot

Solo is the world's first truly unmanned sewer inspection robot that is radically changing the way collection system managers approach operations and management. Solo enables better, timelier decision-making by providing the most useful high volume, small pipe information faster than ever imagined. Typical daily production rates far outpace conventional methods. Many collection system managers operate in a perpetually reactive state. Solo can allow your team the time to react to matters impacting service levels while providing you the technology to also be proactive with respect to your condition assessment needs.
