  • Grasping complex casting shapes with an underactuated parallel jaw gripper on an industrial robot

    Creator:
    Carpenter, Ryan Joseph
    Abstract:
    Steel foundries are in great need of automation as current operations involve many hazardous manual tasks. Automating foundry operations is very challenging due to the variety of tasks that must be performed on physical objects that vary significantly in size, shape, and weight. This thesis focuses on robotically automating the...

  • Robotic Machining Fundamentals for Casting Defect Removal

    Creator:
    Biederman, Moriah
    Abstract:
    In the past half century, industrial robots have developed a strong presence in manufacturing. They now commonly perform tasks such as materials handling, assembly, welding, and painting. Unfortunately robotic machining tasks have seen limited deployments. The majority of machining robots are designed for soft materials like wood or plastic and...

  • A shared-autonomy heavy-lift assistive robot for manufacturing

    Creator:
    Finley, Taylor M.
    Abstract:
    Automating pick-and-place operations for large steel castings in a foundry is challenging, particularly from a perception point of view. Accurately estimating the identity and orientation of a given part is an open and complex problem, especially if that part sits in a bin of very similar parts. The problem is...
