For the past years I have transitioned to working on robot programming with a Las Vegas company called Robotic Arts learning with AndyRobot how to use his software Robot Animator to create never before seen entertainment spectacle. Among many large projects we have worked on, Royal Caribbean is special because the installation we do stays permanent with each of their Quantum class cruise ships. There we install 6 huge ABB IRB 6620 industrial robots with Daktronics 2.2 meters tall LED monitors mounted on the end of each. We then use Maya with Robot Animator to choreograph beautiful synchronized motion that goes with pre rendered images and audio. These performances run year round daily, sometimes robots alone, as well as with dancers and musicians in full shows such as Starwater, and Spectras Cabaret. Other things we have programmed for are usually live shows such as Bon Jovi, Deadmau5, Asian Music Awards, trade shows, and music videos. Additional robots we program for could be any brand, but most commonly ABB, Kuka, and Yaskawa.
