Abstract

Example systems and methods may provide for coordination between one or more light sources and one or more robotic devices. One example system includes a first device actor including an end effector coupled to a robotic device, where the robotic device has two or more degrees of freedom. The system may further include a second device actor including a movable light source, where the movable light source has at least one degree of freedom. The system may additionally include a control system that is configured to control movements of at least one of the first and second device actors to coordinate movement of a light beam from the movable light source with movement of the end effector.
