I was watching Simone Giertz video with the Kuka robotic arm (https://youtu.be/8TlAe4z7D6I) and wondering what we could do at the makerspace with an industrial robot arm. I’d like to see one to learn about programming robotics and maybe how makers can use industrial equipment to enhance our crafts.
Here’s a used surplus Kuka arm that has a 150kg payload, but I bet if we inquired Kuka we could get a more reasonable one like Simone Giertz has.
