COMPARISON OF DATA ANALYTICS APPROACHES USING SIMULATION

December 9, 2018
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Yung-Tsun Lee
Selecting the right data analytics (DA) approach for an application is rather complex. Obtaining sufficient and right kind of data for evaluating these approaches is a challenge. Simulation models can support this process by generating synthetic data where

Empowering Robotics in Manufacturing Through Metrology

December 3, 2018
Author(s)
Jeremy A. Marvel, Elena R. Messina
This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities surrounding robotics, as faced by the manufacturing industry. The means by which metrology can address these challenges and opportunities are also discussed. Details are given regarding NIST's Robotic

The Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition

December 3, 2018
Author(s)
William Harrison, Anthony Downs, Craig I. Schlenoff
The Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC) is an annual simulation-based competition initiated in 2017. The competition challenges teams to design industrial robotic system control code to function in a dynamic environment. Each team

A Survey on Knowledge Transfer for Manufacturing Data Analytics

November 5, 2018
Author(s)
Seung Hwan Bang, Ronay Ak, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Hyunbo Cho
Data analytics techniques have been used for numerous manufacturing applications in various areas. A common assumption of data analytics models is that the environment that generates data is stationary, that is, the feature (or label) space or distribution

A more efficient method for calibrating discrete element method parameters for simulations of metallic powder used in additive manufacturing

October 31, 2018
Author(s)
Stephen R. Geer, Michelle Bernhardt, Edward Garboczi, Justin Whiting, Alkan Donmez
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses a high-power laser to selectively melt metal powder that has been spread, layer-by-layer, to create parts with highly complex features. Because of the strong influence that

Performance Metrics and Test Methods for Robotic Hands (Draft)

October 31, 2018
Author(s)
Joseph A. Falco, Karl Van Wyk, Elena R. Messina
Increasing the flexibility and general-purpose applicability of robots is a longstanding goal. Several avenues of research are addressing these goals, ranging from integration of multiple sensors to allow robots to perceive their surroundings and adapt

Standards-based integration of advanced process control and optimization

October 28, 2018
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Hasan Latif, Carla Martin, Peter O. Denno
Integration of process control with optimization is critical to Smart Manufacturing (SM). Oftentimes, however, the process control solutions from one vendor do not interoperate with the optimization solutions of another. Incompatibilities among the

Effects of Consumer Use Practices on Nanosilver Release from Commercially Available Food Contact Materials

October 23, 2018
Author(s)
Susana Addo Ntim, Samuel R. Norris, David Goodwin, Jens Breffke, Keana Scott, Li Piin Sung, Treye Thomas, Gregory O. Noonan
Migration evaluation involving nano-enabled food contact materials (FCMs) mostly focus on potential nanoparticle release from new unused products. This may not represent consumer use practices encountered by the FCMs in their lifecycle. In order to

Guest Editorial Open Discussion of Robot Grasping Benchmarks, Protocols and Metrics

October 15, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey Mahler, Rob Platt, Alberto Rodriguez, Matei Ciocarlie, Aaron Dollar, Renaud Detry, Maximo Roa, Holly A. Yanco, Adam Norton, Joseph Falco, Karl Van Wyk, Elena R. Messina, Jurgen Leitner, Oliver Brock, Odhner Lael, Andrey Kurenkov, Matthew Matl, Ken Goldberg
Automated grasping has a long history of research that is increasing due to interest from industry. One Grand Challenge for robotics is Universal Picking: the ability to robustly grasp a broad variety of objects in diverse environments for applications
