Control Modes

  • Real-time Gesture Control: Direct, intuitive manipulation using a Leap Motion sensor.
  • Pre-Programmed Automation: Precise, repeatable motion sequences authored with TouchDesigner’s Animation COMP.
  • Manual Slider Control: A simple UI for direct, per-servo adjustment during testing and calibration.

Technical Highlights & Learnings

  • Offloading high-level math and signal conditioning to TouchDesigner significantly accelerated iteration compared to implementing the same pipelines in C++.
  • A visual, animation-driven workflow made designing and refining robotic arm movements faster and more intuitive.
