MIT demonstrates reconfigurable robotic optics lab

MIT researchers demonstrated a reconfigurable robotic optics lab that autonomously assembled and tuned a tabletop laser cavity. The seven-jointed arm picked, placed and adjusted optical components, completing 50 maneuvers within 30 minutes; it also readjusted the setup after physical disturbances to maintain laser intensity. The team will present the system at IROS later this month. Cloud-based access to the physical robot remains under development.
