This is a 13 second exposure of a 6 DOF Puma 760 Robot holding an LED flashlight. By controlling the acceleration and position of the indicator I was able to smoothly draw my school's initials. Programmed in VAL II.
This demo is part of a larger project that included a 3D MATLAB demo to match the real robot. The MATLAB code provides for forward or inverse kinematic input through a simple GUI and provides true 3D animation.
