In an attempt to visually convey the activity of a painting UR5 robot in static images I did some experiments capturing long exposure photographs of an LED light source attached to the end of the arm. The light is controlled by the I/O connector at the end of the arm so that I could turn it on and off from inside programs for the robot, which helped make composite shots.
Motion was animated using Blender and an addon that I wrote which can generate UR Script programs for the robot arm from a Blender animation.
