Problem the AI is intended to solve
MSFC has acquired a custom dirty vacuum rated 6-axis robotic arm from Motiv space systems. This robotic arm while purpose built for manufacturing does require custom toolpathing codes. I used Chat GSFC extensively to write a custom additive manufacturing slicer, gcode parser, and some quality of life upgrades for using the system. We completed various world wide first additive manufacturing builds on our home grown directed energy deposition system using these codes. It also was used to de-bug and work through any issues and errors that arose
