Abstract: Automated robot tool trajectory planning for spray forming is highly desirable for today’s automotive manufacturing. Generating a robot tool trajectory to manufacture an automotive part to satisfy ...

Abstract: Dimensional inspection using a contact-based coordinate measurement machine (CMM) is time consuming because the part can only be measured point-by-point. A 3D sensor may replace the traditional ...

Abstract: Surface manufacturing is a process of adding material to or removing material from the surfaces of a part. Spray painting, spray forming, rapid tooling, spray coating, and polishing are some ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the robot path planning problem in our effort to develop a fully automated dimensional measurement system using an eye-in-hand robotic manipulator. First, the CAD-based vision ...

Abstract: Plasma processing is an important technology, which provides a capability to modify the material surface through etching, deposition, activation, functionalization, polymerization, etc. In the current ...
