Closed Loop Robotics Employing Non-contact Feedback

Principal investigators:

Beshah Ayalew and Mohammed A. Omar

Sponsor:

U.S. Army Automotive Research Center

Brief abstract:

A range of closed loop robotic control applications are considered, where non-contact feedback information, such as thermal signature, is used to boost the energy efficiency of certain automotive manufacturing processes without sacrificing product quality. For this purpose, we use in-house developed and open robotic control hardware and software codes to ensure the best flexibility for our research.
