Robot Makes Literal Daisy Chains

Single source: this development was reported by Hackaday. What WORLDTECH can establish is that the report was made, and by whom. It has not been matched against a second independent organisation and has not been officially confirmed by the organisations involved.

What happened

The device is his student final project and demonstrates how a system can replace sensing with clever mechanical constraints. [Jude Robinson]โ€™s robot Daisy has an unusual function: making a literal chain of daisies.

Instead of bringing tools to bear on each daisy, the daisies are brought to the tools in a repeatable, deterministic way. Daisy is essentially two X-Y gantries with grippers facing one another. Between them is a conveyor upon which daisies are fed, plus a blade at the top with a threading post nearby.
