This technology project was funded through an ARM Institute Technology Project Call (ARM-TEC-22-01), which focused on the following special topic areas:
- Adaptive Real-Time Path Planning and Control
- Human Action & Intention Prediction
- Robot Learning
- Feature and Pose Recognition and Estimation
- Virtual Commissioning of Advanced Robotic Systems
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data for Advanced Manufacturing Robotic Systems
- Multi-Agent Motion Planning and Tasking for Discreet and Continuous Manufacturing Processes
- Virtual Masking for Advanced Coating Applications.
Project Overview
This project seeks to enable convergent manufacturing through coordinated motion of multiple robots for accurate and fast relative tool motion to perform additive, subtractive and transformative manufacturing tasks. The outputs from this project will enable the manufacturing of parts using robots from multiple vendors with high accuracy and quality, empower manufacturing engineers to make better process decision and adjustments, and save time through automated motion programming. This project will build on the outputs of several previous ARM Institute projects, including Robot Raconteur.
