Creating custom parts for robots can be challenging, but tools like FreeCAD make it much easier—especially when you can use reference images for accuracy. By importing images of the robot as a base, FreeCAD allows for precise modeling that matches the robot’s existing structure and design.
With FreeCAD, designing custom parts becomes more efficient and manageable. Whether for prototyping or full-scale production, this workflow ensures parts are accurate and ready for assembly.
Here’s a look at a part I created using FreeCAD, with the robot images as a reference!

🔎 Sanding and polishing can be time-consuming tasks that require patience and attention to detail. Achieving a smooth finish often requires multiple stages of sanding not to mention the potential health hazards associated with continued exposure to dust and vibrations.
💡Why not delegate these dull, long-running tasks to a robot?
🤖 HAL Robotics can enable automatic reprograming of robots to limit downtime and reduce the skill required to re-task a robot to almost nil. In this demo, previously unknown parts are place on the worksurface and we're using 3D scan data to identify regions to finish before re-programming the robot to cover those areas.
🚀 Join us on this journey and witness the evolution of manufacturing with HAL Robotics! Here's our introductory webinar where our team show you how 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦 works - https://lnkd.in/ej7UxWaB

Robots can help when you have repetitive tasks on high-volume production lines, but tend to raise a host of considerations when processing a diverse mix of parts that come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Learn how AI startup GrayMatter Robotics offers solutions for self-programming automation of different tools prevalent in manual surface finishing operations including sanding, buffing, painting, deburring, and laser ablation: https://bit.ly/3xlVnu1#AI#robotics#automation#fabrication#finishing#technology
🤖 Robotics Project Update: Talking to Robots! 🎙️
Ever wondered what it’s like to boss a robot around? Well, this summer, I took it upon myself to find out!
1. Manipulator Creation: Started by downloading some SolidWorks models and putting together a robotic arm (manipulator). It was all about precision initially controlled through the command line with exact coordinates.
2. Smooth Control with MoveIt2: Enter MoveIt2, and suddenly controlling this arm became as easy as pie. No more manual input for every tiny movement just smooth, intuitive control.
3. Voice Commands with Alexa: Here’s where it gets fun! I added some intents (actions) to the code and connected the whole setup to Alexa Console. Now, this manipulator listens to human commands! Whether it’s picking up a pen or other simple tasks, it follows through like a pro.
This project was a fascinating dive into integrating robotics with voice control, bridging the gap between human interaction and machine precision. Who knew giving commands could be this satisfying?
Check out the attached video to see the action unfold. Always up for a chat about robotics and innovation!
