…Ceramic Matrix Composites Pick, Place, and Form Automation Source: Boeing Principal Investigator: Boeing Project Team: University of Southern California and 3M Project Description: This project seeks to develop adaptive path planning to ensure affordability of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) components for hypersonic platforms, or an object that exceeds 5 the speed-of-sound (Mach 5 or greater). The project also seeks to integrate improvements to automated pick, place, and form for processing CMC fabric prepregs using 3D vision-based sensors to reduce the cost and variability for high-rate production of CMC structures. Benefits of this approach include having a cost-competitive alternative to titanium,…

…Inc., Carnegie Mellon University, ATI Specialty Alloys and Components, Boeing Description: This project will develop a robotic vision and visual tactile inspection system that automates high-resolution surface defect inspections of spacecraft components and commercial airplane fuselages. These technological improvements could improve the quality of aerospace inspections as well as replace manual operations, said the ARM Institute. The inspection system could also improve the reliability, maintainability, and readiness of aviation assets and ultimately to reduce the lifecycle costs of the fleet. AI and robotics would allow the system to standardize and learn inspection processes for many components in different industries, which…

…because of some risk of fire. Several years ago, Boeing 787s were grounded because of concerns about fire and explosion from lithium-ion batteries. Powering over rough terrain However, lithium-ion technology has moved forward and is being used in high-performance autonomous vehicles. One example is the Jaguar autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) employed by the Israeli Army. The Jaguar uses a COMBATT 6T NATO-standard battery produced by Epsilor Corp. The military robot is deployed around the Gaza Border, and it's also not far from other borders and infantry and special units. The Jaguar has several 6T batteries that provide it with over…

…entire global population—a freight volume that would require 8,000 Boeing 747s. Qualified refrigerated facilities across a global network of locations where the vaccines will be stored are also now an absolute necessity. The vaccines must be handled and transported at controlled temperatures and protected from tampering and theft. Now that the first vaccines have been authorized and the first countries have started their vaccinations, the air cargo industry and their network partners have proved that they are well prepared for what has been called the biggest mission in industry has ever seen. Global air cargo collaboration To cope with this…
