Hello everyone,
I am new to this area and so I would like to see out the communities expertise. I am developing a 3D printer/CNC machine that has computer vision. Essentially, as the machine deposits material on an unconstrained object, the cameras should monitor the object so that if it moves, the machine will alter the original toolpath so that it moves with the object. This is similar to face tracking robots that pan/tilt to always follow the face. As such, ROS is popularly used to perform this feature but CNC’s relying on g-code which is static make it very difficult. I was hoping someone could speak to whether ROS can be implemented on a CNC machine so that the CNC machine can not only run as it should, but also have low level control of individual stepper motors to implement proportional feedback? Thanks
