Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 2
Canadore College
$75,000.00
Development of a repair robot for high temperature industrial presses
EF 2016-17
Résumé
The objective of this project is to develop and manufacture a prototype of a mobile robot and base stationcapable of allowing an operator to identify and repair surface defects in press plates (""platens"") used inOriented Strand Board (OSB) manufacturing in a high temperature environment. By combining and modifyingexisting technologies in robotics, remote control and machine vision into a single ruggedized platform, theteam at Canadore College in partnership with WB Melback will develop a system designed to perform weldrepairs. This system will be primarily a joystick-based tele-operated repair system, with later stages ofdevelopment aimed at building autonomous capabilities for certain functions.
