While renowned artist A. Ramachandran talks to Riyas Komu of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale Foundation Nidhi Surendranath tunes into their conversation
Artist A. Ramachandran has to his credit Padma Bhushan, chairmanship of the Kerala Lalit Kala Akademi, and over 15 solo exhibitions. The 79-year-old artist, who was born at Attingal in Thiruvananthapuram, also faced adversity many times in his illustrious career. His shift from 'modern' style to works inspired by the murals of Kerala and mythology was seen by much of the art world as a betrayal of the modernist movement. His attempt to bring in reform when he took over the as the head of the Akademi in 1991 also met with stiff resistance. As his retrospective opened at Durbar Hall art gallery in Kochi on Sunday, Riyas Komu, renowned artist and secretary of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale Foundation, caught up with him for a chat.
Riyas: This is your first solo show in Kerala. How does it feel to be back here, showing your work to the people of your State?
Ramachandran: It feels like good old days when I was a small child and my brother took me to primary school on the first day. That is the first experience of going to school, holding his hand. He asked me to sit in a class with so many other unknown faces.
Riyas: Many Malayali artists who leave Kerala don't come back and do exhibitions here in a regular fashion. Was it that you never felt the need to come back?
Ramachandran: No, that is only because most of the artists, like Paris Viswanathan for example, had the stamina to take his works and bring them here. I'm useless about all these things. Maybe because I've been spoilt by these galleries. I started my career with Kumar Gallery. Now, Vadehra art gallery looks after me. Like the child that was taken to primary school, Vadehra has now brought me to Kerala.
Riyas: You left Kerala more than 50 years ago. Now everyone talks about the world moving towards a cosmopolitan identity. In your art practice, though you started as one of the modernists, but went back to art that is very vernacular. How did the shift happen? Was it a very strong decision led by an ideology?
Ramachandran: It is. I believe the identity of a culture is born in intimate surroundings. Like Kerala, for example. After so many years, why should I come back to a State that never accepted me, in a sense. I'm neither M.T. Vasudevan Nair, or Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, or O.V. Vijayan, or anybody accepted in that sense. But still my heart comes back to this place. For 30 years I worked on Kerala murals and produced an academic document explaining why that art is great. All this made me rethink what is actually Indian art, or modern contemporary Indian art.
For me, this was a great challenge because I'm a student of art history. I started looking at the context in which I became an artist. I started questioning the grammar of the language we use. Grammatical structure, the syntax is the basis of a visual language.
I studied Indian art history, right through the early period of classical art of Ajanta, moving to the miniature traditions that were to some extent influenced by Persian. All this is Oriental art from countries which had a culture different from Europe.
Unfortunately, we went under British rule. They started art schools everywhere and that was one of the most damaging things they did to our culture, especially visual culture. They needed craftsmen who could carve and do meticulous work according to the European tradition. Macaulay, when he introduced education, said that Indian craftsmen did not know how to paint as he saw. He thought it was necessary to train them to create the art and craft product. Create for whom? The British. They were making them competent to paint botanical diagrams and such things. That is the beginning of our art education today. That itself is a suicidal system we inherited.
We are all products of that, you and me. We know more about European art than Indian art. Shantiniketan. They gave me some clue about the thinking process of Nandalal Bose, Ramkinkar, Binode Behari Mukherjee. They looked at art from an entirely different point of view from Husain, Tyeb, or Ramkumar. That distinction I was trying to understand. I'm not saying they are bad artists. I'm only talking about the movement.
When I went to Japan to do illustrations for children's books, I used all the folk traditions of India. I found that tribal and folk art are the easiest understood visual language in the world, especially to children.
So I started using Madhubani and Warli painting, I studied these traditions very carefully. I spent most of my life studying different cultural traditions of India. I did my earlier works when there was an urge to do political things and statements. Later I started thinking, why can't we have a language of our own that is distinctly different.
Riyas: In your artistic journey, you believed so much in the vernacular, in your own tradition and inheritance. You've achieved success by taking a route different from what many others of your time chose. Do you think you've proved yourself?
Ramachandran: It is for art historians to assess whether I'm good or bad.I leave it to time to prove whether I'm good or bad. I'm not ambitious that way. I'm surprised even people like you are taking interest in me. I'm not in the mainstream in any sense.
This cynical reaction is because when I did 'Yayati,' the kind of reaction I got was absolutely drastic. I faced prejudice and rejection at the time, even from my own friends. They all thought that my work had become decorative … the word they used was 'decorativeness.' But decorativeness is a part of Indian culture. It is the Europeans who used that derivative language and called Indian art 'decorative.' To us, decorativeness is the life force. The whole surface of the picture is pulsating with life because of the decorativeness. That is a point they missed.
Riyas: Do you think they missed the deep mystery that is at the heart of Indian aesthetics?
Ramachandran: I saw Kerala murals for the first time when my mother took me to the temple. Even today, when I do my sculptures and paintings, I feel it is a ritualistic act. To me, the great pleasure of doing a painting or a sculpture is if I can evoke that feeling. A man who is doing kalamezhuthu does not think of the canvas. He is thinking of how the Goddess' spirit is going to descend into his work.
Even today they don't realise that mystery. Painting is not a successful product. That is the wrong word to use. 'What a good painting you've done,' is a very flat statement.
Riyas: You've proved that the vernacular can be very successful. M.T. Vasudevan Nair is someone from your generation. He became very successful even as he played with the idea of myth. But why do we artists fail in Kerala when we take up myth? Is it that our society does not understand visual art?
Ramachandran: Strangely, our visual culture for painting is dead. I think there has been an overdose of Ravi Varma here. He has settled like dust on the surface of every visual culture. I respect Ravi Varma. I did a huge retrospective of him. But why should I sit and talk today about only C.V. Raman Pillai and forget all other writers like Basheer, or Vijayan, or M.T. Vasudevan Nair. Even in the 21 century, we still talk only about Ravi Varma. Because your eyes don't want to move further.
Riyas: You were also interested in working more closely with some institutions in Kerala. But your efforts never seemed to impress anyone enough here.
Ramachandran: That is because people here resist everything. In Rajasthan, people may not understand my work, but they are tolerant. We are an intolerant society. We are against anything new. Even if our breakfast is not just right, we get angry. We cannot break the rule.
When I came here as chairman of Kerala Lalit Kala Akademi, there was hardly anyone I could speak to. I came with a fantastic project of setting up small art galleries in different districts. I wanted to bring out monograms of all our artists because we have a reading public. I wanted reproductions to be sold. Every district should have at least one gallery where the younger artists can show their work.
All said and done, young artists of Kerala are always better than young artists elsewhere. They are more educated, more conscious.
Riyas: A few years ago, you had also proposed setting up an art education institution that would revolutionise the art system and visual culture in Kerala at all levels. But the project met with strong opposition and your plans had to be shelved. What went wrong?
Ramachandran: That project was extremely serious. Kerala has wonderful students. But all of them have to go to Baroda, or Shantiniketan or other places to get master's degrees. Why could we not give them a good institution here?
I suggested an institution, not taking away the jobs of artists of other art schools. That is a terrible misunderstanding. That was not the idea. The idea was that 21 century art was going to be very different. It is not just oil painting. Students should use photography, televisions and other electronic devices. I don't practice that, but I don't mind students experimenting. Why can't we develop an architecture of our own? Why can't we design our own magazines and books in Kerala? You can do a lot of experiments with typography.
I was not just thinking about artists, but a revolution in terms of visual culture in Kerala. Unfortunately, it was misunderstood.
Riyas: Can the project still be revived?
Ramachandran: Of course it can be revived. But it needs a lot of work.
Riyas: Had you also proposed a sort of museum to archive the art work produced?
Ramachandran: No, my proposal was an exhibition of three major artists – Ravi Varma, Madhava Menon and K.C.S. Panicker, in Delhi. I wanted to publicise Kerala artists nationwide and show why they are different.
Riyas: But you were almost beaten after you did the Ravi Varma show in Delhi.
Ramachandran: More in Delhi than in Kerala. Artists from Husain downwards signed a petition saying Ravi Varma was a calendar painter and the Government of India should not spend so much of money to bring an exhibition of this quality and put it in the national museum.
The experience of the exhibition really shocked me. You know, I lost my eye because of all the tension. I still can't see with my right eye. It was a very tragic experience. I was rushing like a mad dog from Delhi to here. Going to everybody, getting things cleared, sending the work, and on top of it they gave this statement in the paper.
Riyas: You can see that there is a rigour in you. You are a perfectionist in your work and you are ready to fight for it.
Maybe, yes. I wanted to do the exhibition properly. It was like your Biennale. You did not sacrifice the Biennale even though it was difficult. I lost my eye and I suffered terrible tension. I did not know what to do and I was alone. But I did not sacrifice. I proved my point. After so many years, today Ravi Varma has been reinstated into the historical sense.
Riyas: 'Yayati' was a turning point in your art practice, wasn't it? It marked your shift from your earlier political work to themes of mythology.
In my 'Nuclear Ragini' series, I took images of Rajasthani women and interpreted them against the background of the nuclear tests we did in Pokhran. That was showing how a beautiful place like Rajasthan got distorted when something bad happened. In Japan I saw Hiroshima and Nagasaki and I met some of the greatest artists I have met in my life. Iri Maruki and Toshi Maruki, husband and wife, they spent their whole lives working on Hiroshima and anti-war paintings. They have a museum where I lived with them. These things that inspired me to do something different. From that set of paintings I moved away and asked how I could become authentic. So I started studying the Nathdwara tradition of miniatures. Also the miniature paintings in Udaipur palace.
If we take the grammar of Indian visual culture and re-interpret it to our own times, then perhaps we can do differently. 'Yayati' was my first step in that direction. I brought in my experience of seeing kalamezhuthu rituals the whole night, my recollections of temple pujas and big lamps, the murals – I wanted to create the ambience dedicated to a temple – a temple dedicated to a modern man. Yayati is a man who is constantly searching for pleasure.
Riyas: You can see the Yayati syndrome in abundance today.
Ramachandran: Human beings are developing and destroying the world simply to enjoy themselves. It's consumerist and aggressively self-centred. That is dangerous.
You asked me earlier why I changed. When I was in Kerala, I had never seen really gruesome things. I only visualized them from reading Dostoevsky, Mahabharata, or reading about the World War and gas chambers. We never experienced such things in Kerala. What I really saw was the '84 riots. I saw 20 people chasing a sardar in front of my house. And they killed him. That is the first time I saw how gruesome man is towards another man.
I started introspecting on the real function of art. When I paint, when I sculpt, I'm ultimately making that gruesomeness into beauty. I thought, 'Is it correct to make rasagollas out of human tears?' But the Bhils, who are extremely poor, still live in harmony. I realized that human beings are only a part of nature. That made me think differently again.
Riyas: What I found very interesting about 'Yayati' was how you used the character of Yayati to critique manipulative men, but through the images of Bhil women from Rajasthan. You could read the situation in Attappady as a parallel to your experience of nature with the Bhils.
Ramachandran: Maybe I'm political without being obviously political. I don't know myself, frankly speaking. I'm only an artist. If I start using my logic too much I won't be an artist.
You talked about Attappady. When I was young, I used to go to Kolathur, where they've now established the Thumba space centre. That used to be a fisher village. From University College, if I missed the bus at night, I had no alternative but to go with the fisherwomen who were going back with burning torches.
Working class people are, to my mind, the most graceful people. They are the models of classical Indian art. If you go back to the Bagh Caves, or Ajanta, they were actually making the images of working class people.
I look at the tribals, there is an inherent shape which is the model for Ajanta and Ellora. That is where I discovered classical images. A boy's high cheekbones, flat nose, slightly slanting eyes and forehead – how precise they are for a sculpture or a painting. I'm like a bee, collecting honey from the beehive of the Bhils.
Riyas: You have a strong interest in being a cameo in your own paintings. My interpretation is that it derives from how you have used a lot of myths in your art practice.
Ramachandran: When I was doing 'Yayati,' I had an urge to include myself in that vast panorama. It was like my own recognition that I was trying to force upon the canvas. Then I remembered the Gandharva images in Kerala murals. Gandharva is like a celestial being who narrates stories – like a soothradhar. Once I did that, to my surprise, I found my hairstyle and my drooping moustache were interesting motifs that I could transfer to my work. Once I started I found endless avenues – I could be a bird, a bull, I could be anything.

As reported last month, Courtney Love's manager revealed plans for a Broadway play based on the rock singer's life story. While testifying under oath against his former client Britney Spears, music manager Sam Lutfi shared Love's goal of bringing her story to the big screen or to a Broadway musical. Love is the 48-year-old widow of Kurt Cobain, the late Nirvana lead singer who killed himself in 1994.
But according to The Observer, Courtney Love has denied the rumor that a Kurt Cobain musical is in the works for Broadway.
"There will be no musical," Love told the publication. "Sometimes it's best just to leave things alone."
Love recently handed over some rights to Cobain's likeness and Nirvana's publishing, and now CBS is working on a sitcom called "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Fans have responded unhappily, saying Cobain's legacy has become over-commercialized.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was also used in a recent Muppets movie, which Love said she regrets. "I got bullied into selling what I sold," she told The Observer. "I'm never selling the rest of it."
Nirvana was formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic and quickly established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing its first album Bleach in 1989. After signing to major label DGC Records, Nirvana found unexpected success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", the first single from the band's second album Nevermind. Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation", with Nirvana being considered the "flagship band" of Generation X.
Nirvana's brief run ended following the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994, but various posthumous releases have been issued since, overseen by Novoselic, Grohl, and Love. Since its debut, the band has sold over 25 million records in the United States alone, and over 75 million records worldwide.

Jerry Sandusky's attorney has filed notice that he'll take his quest for a new trial to a higher level court.
Last month, the trial judge rejected arguments that defense attorneys didn't have enough time to prepare for the three-week trial at which the former Penn State assistant football coach was convicted on 45 child sex abuse charges.
In documents filed Thursday in Centre County Common Pleas Court, defense attorney Joseph Amendola does not explain the issues he plans to raise in his Superior Court appeal.
The trial judge, John Cleland, also rejected defense arguments about jury instructions, hearsay testimony and a comment by the prosecution during closing arguments.

Police Searching for Bank Robbery Suspect
The Cheyenne Police Department responded to the Unified People's Federal Credit Union, 414 E. 18th St., at 3:45 p.m. after receiving a report of a bank robbery.
The Cheyenne Police Department responded to the Unified People's Federal Credit Union, 414 E. 18th St., at 3:45 p.m. after receiving a report of a bank robbery.
A search was initiated in Yellowstone National Park on August 26 for Kassandra "Kassie" Wieferich, a park concession employee.
The iInitial investigation indicates that there was an argument between the victim and the suspect and that alcohol may have also been a contributing factor.
Both cases were investigated by the IRS, DEA and ATF.
The girl originally claimed that she had been abducted by a man in a pickup while jogging
Chief Brian Kozak says cooperation between police and the public has been a big help in reducing crime
Spokesman Dan Long says staffing can be a challenge because of the training required for new officers to replace those who leave the force.
National Crime Victims Rights week is scheduled for April 6th-12th.
Castellanos has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder
State felony charges have been dropped against three individuals arrested on suspicion of identity theft, and the trio will now face charges on the Federal level.
Officer Dan Long says in most cases the graffiti will be painted over free of charge, although this time of year that may not happen until the weather warms up.
But Long says " they hit the panic button" and the suspects fled the store without any money. No one was injured in the incident.

SOLD: A pillow 6/12/14;
Just in case anyone reads this and CRAVES to see more of this artist's works from his 3 RB sites, then you can CLICK ON the "FIRST TAG" below (jlh designs) and there'll be pages of his artistic expressions! Enjoy ;-)))
I've decided this is a valid RB 'card' design because it may communicate the concept of a simple, more grounded (earthier) faith to some one who might never see the actual chapel, but get this essence.
In Tucson, Arizona the most well known local artist is Ted DeGrazia. He died in the early '80's but his Gallery in the Sun, at his rustic desert foothills property still thrives and is now a tourist attraction.
They allow other artists to have shows at their "Little Gallery" and it's there with my new mother-in-law that we shared a show in 1997, with her marble sculptures and my pen & ink sketches of Boulders of the Dragoon mountains.
There was lots of spare time while 'sitting' our show, so a series of DeGrazia Gallery sketches were made. This one is of the rustic adobe, mostly roofless, chapel Ted built years before.
Sentimentally the building holds great meaning for me, as it does for many. Diane and I were married there in '98 and Adele's memorial service was held there a few years later.
Featured in the "Creative Cards" Group, as well as being selected as that groups avatar for Nov. 09 through Mar. 2010.
Also Featured in the "Inspired Art Group"; Jan. 2010
Featured in "American Southwest" group 3/13/10
Featured in "Paint the West" group 6/18/10
Featured in "THE GROUP" group 7/6/11
this is terrific!!!!!
wonderful details…WOW!!
And what a lovely building and story!
Thanks again, I was actually married in this chapel in '98.
– James Lewis Hamilton
I've seen lots of renditions of this picturesque chapel (including photos I've taken), but this is the best. It captures the quirkiness of DeGrazia's art perfectly.
Linda, What a lovely compliment. I've been admiring your photos, so your words mean even more. TYhank you.
– James Lewis Hamilton
excellent work – I don't know why, but it makes me happy to look at it!
Maybe because it is a very happy place. Diane and I were married there… and maybe not so happy, more simply moving, we had her mother's memorial service there, too.
– James Lewis Hamilton
Lovely drawing, James!
Thank you, I do like sketching.
– James Lewis Hamilton
Hi James I do like this one very much with the detail and how wonderful to have a show there….happy memories and also sad ones by the sounds of it…a lovely drawing.
Thanks Linda,
I had the time during the art show to get to know the building… and even more time for sketching it.
– James Lewis Hamilton
Congrats James! your card is featured in Creative Cards! (big smile) well done! (big smile)
Congrats from you are always an extra honor! (grin) Thank you. Now, I suppose I better get to work on some more CC submissions. ;-))
– James Lewis Hamilton
you're most welcome James (big smile) and yes one a week is just not enough! (grin)
I know, I know… but you've trained my eye so I can't accept anything but an appropriately formatted and presented card… certainly don't want to hassle you anymore with having to reject my stuff! ;-)))
– James Lewis Hamilton
(smile) thank you for that (big smile)
You are welcome. My sense is that there are not many who come to RB to understand what its full potential, really what its requirements are, in order to best present our (so called) best work. You've decided (IMHO) to hold the 'high ground', and that's not likely to bring immediate (or ever) real appreciation. (slightly sad smile) So please accept my simple 'thank you' and at the same time forgive me for being like many (with time constraints and excuses) for not producing more well presented art.
(Now a big smile!)
– James Lewis Hamilton
thank you James for your kinds words (big smile)
You are welcome… but even with all I've learned from you there is one lesson that's very clear… I'll never really compete with all your smiles!
– James Lewis Hamilton

Hi guys,
Well when I thought it was all over, Gnome decided to have itself a little update. When I booted up, the gnome splash was no longer my custom splash. Of course, I could always put it back to normal. But that isn't the problem.
95% of the time when I start up Ubuntu, my toolbars don't appear. I log out and in and they are there, but then It crashes. This only happened after the Gnome update. Sometimes, my desktop doesn't appear either. I've had to make a shortcut to terminal and run everything from there. No menus, also mean that I am constantly using Alt+Tab to switch windows, which can get a little annoying...
I'm going to try to update and upgrade my system, to see if there are any fixes on Gnome's new update.
If you want to know Aptitude's code for system update/upgrade here it is... If i can remember correctly:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

A disk gripper featuring a spindle fitting through the central hole of a disk, with the spindle harboring a movable latch which is a pin carried by a movable arm. An actuator shifts the latch out of the spindle once the spindle has entered a disk hole with the latch causing the disk to slide laterally into a curled finger which provides a protective, non-contacting envelope. The disk is held in place on the shoulder of a bulbous portion of the spindle which keeps the disk on the shoulder of the spindle. The actuator is activated by a floating sensor ring carried by the spindle. When the spindle passes through a disk hole, the sensor ring moves upwardly, resting on the disk sending an upright tripper into an optical detector causing the latch to retract and allowing the spindle to pass into the disk hole. After passage into the disk hole the latch is released, causing lateral disk motion, causing the disk to laterally slide into a securely held position.
1. A gripper for a robotic apparatus for picking disks of the type having a central hole, the gripper comprising,
a cross member associated with a robot arm, the member having an extended portion near an outer rim of a disk to be picked,
a cylindrical spindle having a bulbous end portion with a shoulder capable of fitting within the central hole of a disk, the spindle supported from the cross member and housing a latch movable into and out of a slot within the spindle,
a detector capable of detecting passage of the bulbous portion through the disk hole, the detector associated with the spindle away from the bulbous portion and generating an electrical signal indicative of such passage,
an electrical actuator responsive to the signal from the detector and having a movable rod linearly pushing the latch against a rim of the disk hole,
whereby the electrical actuator urges the latch out of the spindle, thereby shifting the position of the disk, the disk being supported at its hole rim by the shoulder of the bulbous portion and the latch.
2. The gripper of claim 1 further comprising a curled finger at an end of said cross member having dimensions for enveloping a disk edge, said disk being nudged into envelopment by the latch.
3. The gripper of claim 2 wherein said curled finger comprises a shelf which envelops said disk in a non-contacting manner.
4. The gripper of claim 1 further comprising,
an annular sensor ring supported at the bulbous end of the spindle in a floating manner relative to the spindle, the annular sensor ring carrying a detector tripper capable of activating the detector.
5. The gripper of claim 4 wherein the detector tripper is a pin projecting from the sensor ring.
6. The gripper of claim 1 wherein said detector is an optical detector.
7. The gripper of claim 1 wherein the latch is an elongated member connected to the movable rod of the actuator.
8. The gripper of claim 1 wherein a spring is associated with the latch, biasing the latch out of the spindle from a position seated within said slot.
9. The gripper of claim 8 wherein said spring is mounted in opposition to the actuator.
10. The gripper of claim 1 wherein the cross member is movable by a motor associated with a robotic apparatus.
11. The gripper of claim 10 where said motor drives a screw connected to the cross member.
12. The gripper of claim 1 wherein said actuator is supported by the cross member.
13. A gripper for a robotic arm adapted for picking disks of the type having a central hole, the gripper comprising,
an elongated spindle, having an axis, attached to a robotic arm movable both vertically and laterally, the spindle having an exterior slot parallel to the axis and a lower bulbous portion, including a shoulder capable of fitting within the central hole of a disk,
a sensor ring associated with the spindle in a vertically movable manner parallel to the spindle axis, the ring having a lower surface adapted for contact with the disk, moving the sensor ring along the spindle axis, the sensor ring having a first position prior to contact with the disk and a second position after contact with the disk and vertical motion of the spindle into the disk hole to the extent that the bulbous portion of the spindle is within the disk hole above the shoulder,
a latch supported for lateral movement transverse to the spindle axis to a first position in said slot allowing a disk hole to pass over the latch without contact and to a second position extending from the slot contacting the disk in a manner nudging the disk laterally away from the spindle axis,
a fixed finger extending laterally away from the spindle to a curled terminus having a width capable of protectively wrapping a disk edge,
a detector associated with the sensor ring and producing a first signal when the sensor ring is in the second position and a second signal when the sensor ring is in the first position,
an electrical actuator having a force rod urged to move the latch laterally upon receipt of the first detector signal,
whereby the disk is shifted laterally into the curled terminus of the fixed finger by the actuator, the disk residing in the curled terminus in a non-contacting manner, the disk being supported by the shoulder of the bulbous region.
14. The gripper of claim 13 further defined by a spring biased in opposition to the force rod.
15. A method of picking a disk with a rimmed hole comprising,
inserting a spindle with non-uniform peripheral regions through the rimmed hole of a disk,
sensing passage of the spindle through the rimmed hole,
projecting a latch radially outwardly from the spindle,
shifting the disk position laterally by contacting the rimmed hole with the latch,
holding the shifted disk at rest against a non-uniform peripheral region of the spindle with the latch, and
applying motion to the spindle, transverse to the shifted disk position, thereby picking the disk.
16. The method of claim 15 further defined by supporting the spindle from a robotic apparatus.
17. The method of claim 15 further defined by enveloping radially outward edges of the disk with a curled finger.
18. The method of claim 17 wherein said envelopment is non-contacting.
19. The method of claim 17 further defined by supporting the curled finger in a fixed position relative to the spindle.
20. The method of claim 15 further defined by generating an electrical signal in response to sensing passage of the spindle through the rimmed hole.
The invention relates to a robotic apparatus and, in particular, to a gripper to be used with a robotic arm for picking disks.
Most automated disk transfer mechanisms use a vacuum puck to assist in holding a disk. Such vacuum apparatus requires a pump which is frequently noisy and poses a risk of introducing particulate matter into the ambient environment. Moreover, vacuum pumps produce local vibration which must be damped.
Some non-vacuum disk pickers are known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,000,651 shows a disk gripper which allows a pair of disk-gripping members to enter the central hole of the disk and then spread apart, holding a disk by outward pressure on a rim of a central hole and at the release of the disk, the disk holding members are pulled together, allowing the rim of the disk to slip over the compressed members. The entire apparatus is associated with a robot arm so that disks may be moved from one place to another once a disk is held securely in place.
Another automatic disk holder apparatus is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,468,111. In this case, disks are manipulated by edge contact in combination with contact with the center hole, as shown in FIG. 7 of the patent. Such edge and hole contact provides positive gripping for transport.
What is needed is a simpler, low cost system for moving disks, such as from a stack of disks to another location for reading, writing, copying, polishing, formatting, or other purposes.
The above object has been achieved with a gripper for picking disks of the type having a central hole. The gripper of the present invention relies on an irregularly shaped spindle to hold disks on a spindle shoulder after a disk is slid laterally onto the shoulder. The lateral sliding motion of the disk is forced by a latch which is usually partially or totally retracted within the spindle when the spindle passes through the disk hole, but is thrust outwardly once the spindle is inside of the disk hole. An electrical actuator moves the latch on a signal from a detector which senses the motion of the spindle into the disk hole by means of an annular sensor ring. This sensor ring is associated with the spindle. The annular sensor ring floats below the bulbous portion of the spindle, carried or lifted by a disk being approached by the gripper. The sensor ring is axially movable relative to the spindle such that a portion of the annular sensor ring trips the optical detector as the spindle enters the disk hole. This brings about a thrusting of the latch outwardly. An extended portion of a cross beam of the gripper includes a curled finger which shields the radially outward edge of the disk in a non-contacting manner after the disk has been laterally shifted. To release a disk, the actuator is momentarily turned on, pulling the latch inwardly, allowing a disk to fall off the shoulder of the spindle under gravitational force and the annular ring atop the disk.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a robotic apparatus for picking disks, including the gripper of the present invention.
FIG. 1A is a plan view for a three post disk stacker for use with the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 2-4 are side sectional, operational views of the disk gripper shown in FIG. 1.
FIGS. 5 and 6 are simplified operational views corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively.
FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the disk gripper illustrated in FIG. 1.
With reference to FIG. 1, a robotic arm 11 is capable of lateral motion in X and Y directions, as indicated by the arrows X-X' and Y-Y', under the control of motors, not shown. The arm 11 is also capable of up and down motion in the Z direction, indicated by the arrow Z-Z' under the control of a motor, M, which may be a stepper or servo motor. The motor turns screw 19 on which an arm fixture 21 rides. The fixture is supported on an upright post 23 which allows the arm fixture 21 to slide thereon as it is driven by screw 19. The arm fixture 21 carries disk gripper 17 which is capable of picking a disk 15 from a stack of disks 13, held in place by means of a stacking post or guide 31. In FIG. 1A a three post stacking arrangement is shown. Posts 30 and 32 are fixed, but post 34 is attached to a door of a cabinet and swung into place along arc 36 as an enclosure door is closed. The disks are moved into position using a hopper 29, supported on a floor plate 27 within an enclosure 25. The entire enclosure may be in a cabinet or in a vacuum environment, depending upon the application. The disks are of the type having a central hole 16 such as recordable optical disks, known as CDRs, or digital versatile disks, known as DVDs.
The present invention may be used to rapidly pick such a disk off of a stack, move it to a disk reading or writing station for information transfer and then move the disk again to another stack of finished disks. In this manner, disks may be duplicated, written or read, polished, sorted or otherwise automatically moved under robotic control by means of a computer or controller.
In FIG. 2, the disk gripper 17 may be seen to comprise a cross beam 33 which is linked to a body 34 carrying an extended portion 35, more clearly seen in FIG. 7 discussed below. The cross beam need not be any particular type of beam, but may be any cross member capable of supporting an extended portion near the edge of a disk. Returning to FIG. 2, the extended portion includes a curled finger 37 such that the extended portion extends beyond the rim of a disk 51 to be picked. The curled finger 37 has an inward extremity 39 defining a notch or shelf sufficiently wide to either envelop or provide a ledge for shielding the outside edge of disk 51 from abrasion. The body 34 houses a spring 57 which is coiled about an arm 55 terminating in a spring housing 59 into which the arm is slidably movable. The opposite end of the arm is connected to actuator arm 63 which, in turn, is connected to an electrical actuator 61. Arm 55 also carries a fixed latch 53, which may be a pin, rod, shaft, or other elongated member, extending perpendicularly downwardly, parallel to the axis of a cylindrical spindle 41.
Cylindrical spindle 41 is supported within body 34, free of arm 55, allowing arm 55 to slide transversely past the spindle, without contact. The cylindrical spindle 41 has a bulbous portion 43 at a lower extremity of a size which will fit within the central rimmed hole 49 of disk 51. Spindle 41 has an axial peripheral slot or cutaway section which allows latch 53 to be retracted within spindle 41, or at least sufficiently within so that the latch and spindle can together pass through a disk hole without contact.
Spindle 43 supports an annular sensor ring 69, a ring having substantial thickness, about 8 mm. The annular sensor ring has a stepped diameter which contacts the cylindrical spindle above the bulbous portion 43 for support. The step allows latch 53 to pass, without interference. The annular sensor ring 69 carries an upright pin which is a detector tripper 67 having an upward extremity which will fit in between an optical detector and receiver, forming detector optics 65.
In the lowermost position of the annular sensor 69, as shown in FIG. 2, the detector tripper 67 is well below the detector optics 65. This causes the actuator 61 to be off. When the actuator is off, the main force on the latch 53 is a pulling force provided by a spring 57, the force indicated by the arrow F1, placing the latch outside of the spindle. Note that the annular sensor ring 69 has a sufficiently wide inside diameter to allow the latch 53 to project outwardly from the spindle, without displacing the annular sensor 69.
Under command of the robotic arm, the cylindrical spindle 41 is moved toward a disk, as shown in FIG. 3. As the cylindrical spindle 41 passes through the hole 49 in disk 51, the annular sensor ring 69 makes contact with the upper surface of the disk causing the detector tripper 67 to move upwardly into detector optics 65. The sensor ring is moved along the spindle axis, together with the disk. The detector optics 65 consists of one or more pairs of optical sources and detectors. When an optical beam generated by a light source, such as a semiconductor diode, is interrupted, the detector optics 65 sends a signal to actuator 61 causing the actuator to momentarily retract in the direction of the arrow F2. This causes latch 53 to move into a slot or cutaway portion of cylindrical spindle 41. The cylindrical spindle can now pass through the central rimmed hole 41 without interference.
Once the bulbous portion 43 of the cylindrical spindle 41 passes through the central rimmed hole 49 the actuator 61 may be released, as shown in FIG. 4. The release condition may be commanded in several ways. A simple timeout mechanism, e.g. after 0.1 seconds, may allow the actuator 61 to release arm 55. Since the gripper is advanced by motor M whose rate of movement is known, a timeout mechanism is safe. Alternatively, since the detector tripper 67 has moved to a higher position, a second optical source and detector, mounted above the first source and detector can have an interrupted beam which is detected within the detector optics 65. Since the disk has approached body 34 upon entry of the bulbous portion through the hole, the radially outward periphery of the disk is slid into the curled finger 37 by lateral motion of the disk in the direction of arrows S. Note that the curled finger does not contact the disk, but rather envelops the disk in a non-contacting, protective manner. Note also that the length and position of the latch must be such that only one disk is slid laterally. The position of the latch may be established by the state of the electrical actuator 61. Disks on a stack usually have known thickness, facilitating positioning of the latch.
The disk is supported by a shoulder 71 of the bulbous portion 43 of the cylindrical spindle 41. At a radially opposite side of the hole, the latch 53 keeps the disk rim portion supported on shoulder 71 in place, without exerting tension or pressure on the disk rim.
A signal can be sent to the actuator 61 for release. In the release condition, spring 57 is allowed to pull latch 53 outwardly relative to the axis of the cylindrical spindle 41 contacting the rim of the hole in disk 51, exerting a force on the disk in the direction of arrow F3, the direction of motion of latch 53. To release a disk, the command signal to actuator 61 causes the actuator arm 63 to move in a direction shown in FIG. 3. In this situation, the latch is retracted causing a disk to start to fall off the shoulder 71 since no tension exists to keep on the shoulder and gravitational forces urge the disk to fall around the bulbous portion 43. Simultaneously, the annular sensor ring pushes downwardly on the disk further urging it off of the bulbous portion.
FIG. 5 shows a slot 54 in cylindrical spindle 41 in which the latch 53 may reside. In FIG. 5 the cylindrical spring 57 is biasing the latch out of the slot 54 while the actuator 61 remains off. In FIG. 6, the actuator 61 has been turned on and the latch 53 overcomes the force of spring 57 moving into the slot 54 so that the spindle 41 can pass through a central hole of a disk without contacting the disk.
In FIG. 7, the curled finger 37 is seen to be joined to extended portion 35 of body 34. The inwardly curled extremity 39 is actually a lip, serving as a shelf for protecting the edge of a disk. The protective envelopment of a disk may be on two sides or three sides, but in both cases the disk does not contact the curled finger 37 or the extremity 39. Spring 57 has an end fixed within spring housing 59. The housing has a sufficient width to accommodate motion of the arm 55 caused by actuator 61.
The disk gripper of the present invention may be used with various automatic or programmed arms providing X, Y and Z motion.

The inauguration of Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, S.J., as 32nd president of Holy Cross on Sept. 14 marked the beginning of the latest chapter in the College's storied history.
It also brought out the sense of pride that so many people have for this exclusively undergraduate, Jesuit liberal arts college in Worcester, Mass. — a sense of pride that was evident in the beaming students ready and eager to officially welcome their new president; in the hundreds who participated in the Mass for Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in St. Joseph Memorial Chapel; in the faculty members who, at the Inauguration Faculty Symposium, presented ideas to move the College to even greater heights; in the hundreds of delegates from colleges and universities across the country; and in the warm greetings offered up by dignitaries, fellow college presidents, Jesuit provincials, faculty, staff, students, and alumni during the installation ceremony.
Watch this video for highlights of the presidential installation ceremony and scenes from the meticulously landscaped campus.
