This video showcases a physics-informed machine learning approach that ensures safe and efficient handling of both rigid and deformable packages. In warehouses, the transport of various packages is an essential activity. To increase cost-effectiveness, these tasks are automated using manipulators equipped with suction cups. However, high-speed transport can drop items due to suction system limi...

Deformable packages are a popular choice in the industry for fulfillment needs. This video demonstrates how to leverage bimanual manipulation to perform bin-packing with deformable packages. Our bin-packing system incorporates a dual robot arm bimanual setup, uniquely combining suction and sweeping motions to stably and reliably pack deformable packages in a bin. We propose a comprehensive acti...

A Smart Robotic Assistant for Enhancing Human Productivity on Assembly Tasks

Robotic screwdriving has always been a challenging task, particularly when dealing with high uncertainty scenarios. While expensive fixtures are a viable solution for mass production, they become impractical for high-mix, low-volume applications. That's where autonomous mobile robotic screwdriving comes into play! In this video, we unveil a smart mobile robotic assistant designed specifically f...

Humans are quite adept at manipulating numerous tools for performing a variety of complex tasks. Enabling robots to perform these complex tasks requires transferring manipulation skills from humans to robots. Learning from demonstration provides a promising approach to achieving this. However, ensuring informative data collection for learning expert policy can be challenging. In this video, we ...

Robots are being considered for performing external heating of components in manufacturing applications. This video presents a physics-aware method for localized robotic heating of surfaces. We take inspiration from physics-informed machine learning and present a parameter learning graph-based modeling framework that enables the robot to predict the temperature evolution of the surface of inter...

Robotic arms and suction grippers are a reliable way to transport sheet-like materials like composite prepreg fabrics in various industries, including automotive and aerospace. However, flexible sheets of varying size and shape often require a unique robot or end effector for transport, leading to increased costs and cycle times. To alleviate this, we have developed a suction gripper that can r...

Robot-to-human mechanical tool handover is a common task in a human-robot collaborative assembly where humans are performing complex, high-value tasks and robots are performing supporting tasks. We explore an approach to ensure the safe handover of mechanical tools to humans. We introduce a framework to enable smart robotic assistants to safely and efficiently perform robot-to-human tool handov...

In this video, we showcase how robots can learn from human experts to master complex task sequencing in various manufacturing processes, such as surface finishing and composite layup. We demonstrate how robots can learn the expert's task sequencing policies for composite layup task and perform execution on a brand new test part.

The Human-Robot Collaboration Satellite Assembly Cell contains tasks assigned to robots or humans. Robot can encounter an error and cannot complete a task, creating a contingency. In this video, we present 4 contingencies that can occur during a satellite assembly sequence and how the system would resolve such contingencies. Check out this video on "A Rapidly Reconfigurable Collaborative Roboti...

3D printing technology is increasing being considered in medical applications, where we may encounter soft deformable surfaces. Existing 3D printing systems may not work in such applications. We have developed a robotic system for conformal deposition on a deformable surface based on sensor-based planning and control. The printing process can adapt to the time-varying geometry of the deformable...

We are developing a new smart robotic assistant to help humans in multiple manufacturing applications. This enables human to focus on value-added tasks such as the assembly and inspection of a motor module, while our robotic assistant performs supportive tasks such as putting the tools away.

We have developed a hybrid cell using robotics to reduce manual labor in satellite assembly operations. Robot-human interaction is necessary in risk-averse sectors such as aerospace, where efficient production is critical, but full automation is unlikely if the risk of process-induced defects exist. This video demonstrates the technical feasibility of fixture free robotic assembly in hybrid cel...
