Title: Driving Manufacturing Innovation with AI-Powered Smart Robot Cells
Abstract: Manufacturers need more qualified workers and automation technologies to speed production and achieve consistent quality. Surface finishing represents a large portion of manufacturing operations, including sanding, polishing, grinding, and coating used to manufacture parts made from metal and composite.
Traditionally robots have been used only in mass-production applications. Manually programming robots is not viable in high-mix applications. The availability of 3D vision and force sensors enables robots to operate without custom fixtures and accommodate part and fixture variability. Now, advances in AI and affordability allow robots to be used in high-mix applications, amplifying human productivity to deal with labor shortages.
This is an overview of physics-informed AI (GMR-AI™) developed by GrayMatter Robotics, enabling smart robotic cells to program themselves from the high-level task descriptions. We’ll also cover how robotic cells utilize sensor data to adapt the programs to deliver efficient and safe operational performance in high-mix sanding and polishing applications. These surface finishing solutions ensure quality consistency and increased productivity and enable manufacturers' production scalability.
