The development of the end arm tool took about two weeks to design and develop. It started off with a series of prototypes which was finally modified and calibrated into a reliable end arm tool. The trigger mechanism is actuated by a two-way pneumatic piston which is controlled by the integrated air system in the robot arm. The air system is controlled by grasshopper in a series of “I’s” and “O’s”, to constantly pull the trigger in a rhythmic manner keeping the flow of the hot glue consistent.
