In December 2000, RoboCoaster Ltd was founded with the goal of integrating robotic technology into the entertainment and leisure industry. [1] In the company's first year of operation, Gino Daniel De-Gol invented the concept of a robotic-arm-based amusement ride. [2]
The ride utilizes robotic arm technology in a ride system designed and manufactured by RoboCoaster in partnership with Dynamic Attractions and KUKA. It takes guests in and around Hogwarts Castle depicting virtual scenes and environments from the Harry Potter series of books and films .
One of the four KUKA Arms in motion. The first-ever Innoventions ride at Epcot, Sum of All Thrills, presented by Raytheon, was a simulated thrill ride.The ride let guests use a computer program to specify the drops, curves and loops of a coaster track before boarding an industrial robotic arm to experience their creation.
KUKA is a German manufacturer of industrial robots and factory automation systems. In 2016, the company was acquired by the Chinese appliance manufacturer Midea Group. [2]It has 25 subsidiaries in countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Russia, and various European nations.
The kinetic sculpture was created using a Kuka (KUKA model Kr180 R3100 K) industrial robot arm made of stainless steel with an exterior black coating. [2] The arm was modified by the addition of a shovel and a rubber squeegee at its end. [2] The arm functioned at a 360 degree radius and had full mobility through a programmable Kuka controller.
LEGO airplane-themed ride that move up and down while moving in a circle Knight's Tournament: 2005–2019 Castle Hill Robotic arm-like ride where guests can select their level of intensity, with level one being the least intense and level five being the most intense. First Kuka RoboCoaster in the United States. [29] Miniland Florida: 2004–11 ...
Speed – how fast the robot can position the end of its arm. This may be defined in terms of the angular or linear speed of each axis or as a compound speed i.e. the speed of the end of the arm when all axes are moving. Acceleration – how quickly an axis can accelerate. Since this is a limiting factor a robot may not be able to reach its ...
Tracks can also ride off their guide wheels, idlers or sprockets, which can cause them to jam or to come completely off the guide system (this is called a "thrown" track). Jammed tracks may become so tight that the track may need to be broken before a repair is possible, which requires either explosives or special tools.
