This robotics project was selected from the ARM Institute’s 24-01 Technology Project Call, which centered on the following special topic areas: Multi-Modal Inputs for AI Robotics in Manufacturing, Rapid Re-Tasking and Robot Agility, Multi-Robot, Multi-Human Collaboration, and Virtual Commissioning of Advanced Robotic Systems.
Principal Investigator:
Lockheed Martin
Project Team:
University of Southern California (USC), Carnegie Mellon University, and Yaskawa
Description:
This project will build on the outputs from the ARM Institute funded FRAME project. FRAME is a fixtureless high mix/low volume (HMLV) manufacturing cell with widespread applicability to both defense and commercial manufacturing challenges, highlighted by human-robot collaboration focused technologies to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase cell yield. FRAME 2.0 will center on addressing a wider range of part sizes and complex assembly scenarios and advancing the project into a functional pilot line.
