…a 1kg payload, 6-axis robot with a structure and programming environment nearly identical to that of a Kawasaki industrial robot. Weighing only 12 kg and powered by a 110V outlet, the robot is adoptable to any classroom environment. The Astorino platform includes a built-in control system; dedicated firmware and software; Modbus TCP and USB/Ethernet communication and safety functions such as E-Stop and safety brakes. Motor control uses three signals (pulse/direction/enable) and steel gears reduce backlash to <5 arcmin. The robot is flexible and can also be paired with multiple options such as three kinds of grippers, a 24V IO module,…

…think of robots as being incredibly complex, with intricate programming and assembly needed. Luckily, with AMRs, all that has been done for you by the vendor! The vendor will work with you to integrate the robots into your warehouse ecosystem. Once that is complete, the AMRs are designed for ease of use by your operational team. No more training is needed than for any other new technology addition, and you do not need a team of robotics engineers on staff. 3. AMRs are too expensive When you look at an AMR it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that they…

…all with limited human intervention and no explicit CNC programming. Agile robotic path planning for spray coating of complex geometry Principal investigator: Northrop Grumman Corporation Project Team: Manufacturing Automation Systems (MAS) and the Ohio State University Description: First-time quality is difficult to achieve in current high tolerance, large, complex robotic coatings applications within the Defense Industrial Base, leading to excessive manual rework, re-programming, and increased product lead time. Challenges with mapping complex surface geometries to ensure surface coverage without overspray onto other surfaces makes the coating and finishing of complex geometry parts difficult. This project team will seek to create…

…outputs. The most difficult skills to find today are programming, computer-aided design and modeling (CAD/CAM), virtual reality (VR) or simulation, and robotics, along with traditional skills including machinists, welding, and CNC machinists. Manufacturers and training centers are developing a pipeline of future workers, and some are beginning to fund programs that reach middle school students. There is a growing presence of “learn & earn” training programs that pay wages to participants as they learn new skills. Workers who have a mix of education and training beyond high school, but no bachelor’s degree, are expected to gain nearly 300,000 good jobs.…
