Adaptive Collaborative Robot (ACobot)
FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01
Summary
The objective of this project is the installation of wire harnesses on electric motors, drivetrains and battery packs using collaborative robots (Cobots). The project will focus on the development of an adaptive collaborative robot (ACoBot) by integrating a smart Flexible Vision System (FV) with a CoBot. The ACoBot will be using Artificial Intelligence algorithms to identify wire harnesses, electric motors/drivetrain and battery pack components. The system must be easy to deploy with no additional programming when the assembly environment undergoes minor changes. Retraining with new data should happen automatically.

Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est l'installation de faisceaux de câbles sur des moteurs électriques, des chaînes cinématiques et des batteries à l'aide de robots collaboratifs (Cobots). Le projet portera sur la création d'un robot collaboratif adaptatif (ACoBot) en intégrant un système de vision flexible intelligent (VF) à un CoBot. L'ACoBot utilisera des algorithmes d'intelligence artificielle pour repérer les faisceaux de câbles, les moteurs électriques, la chaîne cinématique et les composants des batteries. Le système doit être facile à déployer, sans programmation supplémentaire, lorsque l'environnement d'assemblage subit des modifications mineures. Le réapprentissage avec de nouvelles données doit se faire automatiquement.
