Progress
From first robot accuracy tests to energy-efficient tool handling in simulation: follow our progress towards precise robotic manufacturing.
Kick-off
The team came together at the Advanced Manufacturing Lab and defined the project scope.
Concept
We defined the requirements for the correction module and reviewed the project concept with our supervisors. The concept combines the robot’s reach with a compact device that corrects the tool’s position relative to the workpiece.
Early robot drawing and motion measurements provide a baseline for evaluating the precision enhancement as development progresses.
Updates
Weekly meeting
Every week the whole team meets to share progress and plan the next steps.
Design
We are turning the correction-module concept into detailed mechanical and electronic designs. Work on the mechanical design, mounting and control system is progressing alongside early prototypes and tests.
The humanoid now follows detected drawings while balancing. End-effector IMUs record acceleration and orientation so that we can characterize its motion before adding precision correction.
Our latest simulations explore how the robot can handle welding-tool loads in energy-efficient postures. Transferring these movements to the real robot and measuring the difference between simulation and hardware are the next steps.
