Drawing With Sawyer

Overview

An image of the user’s face is obtained via webcam and the facial component isolated for processing which allows us to create motion planning and solve for trajectories for the end-effector of a Sawyer robot (from Rethink Robotics) in order to draw the face. The result is a marker-drawn image of a face on a surface which only requires an initial calibration process which we created for Sawyer to automatically localize the task space and the end-effector. We use a custom, 3D printed marker holder provided by the Master of Science in Robotics program. Videos of the results can be found here:
