FROM  A  Lamp  To  A  City                          


Kandinsky’s Dance Curves Exploration Abstraction and Infusion Location: School of Architecture, CUHK Academic work: robot-arm  application
The Manhattan Transcript by Bernard Tschumi

In search on the logic of cities and buidings with the notations of movement
Dance of Palucca by Wassily Kandinsky
Interpreting body movement as geometric curves


Potential of Robotic Arm in Terms of Movement
Robotic Arm has the potential to act as human joints and move like human joints


As a crucial tool for the robotic arm to interact with the environment, the end
effector is the peripheral medium for expression.

This section will discuss and go through the design process of the end effector
of the project.

Light Painting captures movement of light within a period of time by adjusting
the shutter, where light flows multidimensional
Converting dance movement into three-dimensional curve and deploy light painting to record the visualisation

Pendent Suction to be directly replaced by glowing stick, arrangement to mimick a body structure
Software Realisation

Kinect for Xbox 360 (Hardware)
Testing Firefly Skeletal Track Function

Script Sequence 1: Identify different joints to make active and allow recording of movements

Script Sequence 2 : Mark a boundary for the robotic arm to move. ( 556 x 448 x 607 mm)

Script Sequence 3 : Traslating multiple overlaying points into runnable lines of path for the arm to operate within a boundary

Free running of the lines may result in extreme turning of the arm

Testing out the acceleration of the arm to be almost in sync with body movement

Record the dance movements
Generate the path of lines that are readable to the arm

Install the End Effector and set up camera for a round of light drawing by the glowing stick
