Gummyism: Answering the Robot Arm Arms Race

In 2013, an ABB robotic arm arrived at Princeton University’s School of Architecture. The Yale School of Architecture soon installed its 5-axis Kuka robot arm. Michigan University’s Taubman College then purchased six 7-axis Kuka robots. In 2014, UCLA’s IDEAS campus opened with two Kuka KR 150s, each boasting the largest carrying capacity of any robots operating on a university campus.

A robotics arms race is underway as the robot arm becomes the new fascination of the profession. But how productive is it for 15 leading experts to spend 6 months preparing a $20,000 robot arm to lay a line of bricks—something that Handy Ted can achieve more quickly and economically?

How can we use a technology like the UR3 6-axis robot arm more productively?
