Can someone help me find robots! The Tech Museum of Innovation is a hands on museum that displays advanced technology to the general public. Similar to the Exploritorium in San Francisco. There are six areas that the museum is currently exhibiting, these are; Astronomy, Material Sciences, Bicycles, MicroElectronics, Biotechnology and Robotics. The Museum is located in Downtown San Jose, Silicon Valley. Every so often the Museum has fund raising events. This time they will be putting on a theatrical show. One part of the show will be to use some industrial robots in a choreographed ballet. The problem I am faced with is that I need to find out where I can borrow some robots to help put on the show. The person who is choreographing the show is Margo Apostolos, she has about 10 years of experience doing this sort of robot dance, but she does not have access to any robots. Generally, I would summarize the robot needs as follows: 1. Three or Four industrial robotic arms with teach pendants and computer. 2. Robots should have five or more degrees of freedom. 3. Robots should be electric. The specific type of robots that I am looking for are PUMA 760 or 560, U.S. Robot Maker 110 or 100, Robotics Research Corporation robots K1207 or K2107. But any robot with the above constraints will work. If any one can loan these types of robots, or knows somebody who can, please send e-mail to pkenny@ads.com or call me (Partick Kenny) at 415-960-7537 or (Dick King) at The Tech Center, 408-279-7167 to discuss this in more detail. I would prefer that any robots be located in the Bay area, but that is not a limitation. The relationship I have with the Tech Museum is that I volunteer my time to help promote the technology amongst the people. This is not an advertisement to go to the Tech Museum, but it is a lot of fun. Thanks for any help or leads! -pk (Patrick Kenny) -- ! -Patrick Kenny (pkenny@ads.com) (Advanced Decision Systems) ! !
