WORM collaborative robots automate art in a new way

Arduino Team — October 21st, 2025 In the world of machining, there are manual tools and then there are CNC tools. But there is also an option that exists between those two extremes, called “conversational programming.” That lets operators create complex programs by extrapolating from something simple, such as a radial pattern of a milled pocket.
