SCI-RAT Attachments for UR5 / Spring 2016

Frank Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, Carnegie Mellon University
​During the Spring of 2016, the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University acquired an advanced UR5 robotic arm for use in experimental arts and technology research. A small team of artists and engineers joined forces and formed SCI-RAT (STUDIO for Creative Inquiry Robotic Arm Team) to explore a variety of interesting applications not typically associated with industrial robotic arms.  John Choi helped turn this industrial robot arm into an expression of play through a series of 15 fun and original attachments such as fingers, googly eyes, and Silly String Sprayers. Full list of all attachments below:
  1. Universal Mounts:
  2. Electronics Platforms:
  3. Googly Eyes:
  4. Tool Adapters:
  5. Custom Hardware:
  6. Body Parts:
