Augmented Robotic Manipulation...




ARM was created in 1995 and has struggled to launch for better than -7- years now!
Back then it was called RPM for Remote Personal Manufacturing.
The idea is still progressing and advancing as technology continues to advance.

ARM is an art form and has taken shape for me ever since the early 80's.
For me it began when I discovered that my C= 64 Computer had a "USER-PORT"!
I have been interfacing the real-world to it ever since...
Today I use old PC's that are too slow for most people, but work fine for real-world interfacing.

ARM is a spin-off of Salvage Endeavor because used materials and equipment are incorporated into the different projects.

Early Projects:

  1. Tracking Solar Furnace(s)
  2. TOM Telecomm Operation Management
  3. Intra-shack LAN
  4. ART Antenna Rotor Terminal
  5. HVAC Management System
  6. 3D-Panagraph
  7. Cyber-Solargraph
These were all done with VIC-20's & C= 64's

At one point in time (1989) the 3D-Panagraph and the Cyber-Solargraph could both get scripts or "move profiles" (now known as HTML) via HAM Radio Packet Stations...

Around the same time the TOM & ART projects enabled me to complete a QSO with the Space Shuttle Columbia on mission STS-35 (12/3/90)...

Today my focus uses the internet and websites for most of my virtual projects.
ARM will allow others to use my projects for their own projects...

More to come...
