Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition: Task Pool

July 15, 2018
Author(s)
Yu Sun, Joseph Falco, Nadia Cheng, Hyouk Ryeol Choi, Erik Engeberg, Nancy Pollard, Maximo Roa, Zeyang Xia
A Robot Grasping and Manipulation Competition was held during IROS 2016. The competition provided a common set of robot tasks for researchers focused on the application of robot systems to compare the performance of hand designs as well as autonomous

System Lifecycle Handler -- Spinning a Digital Thread for Manufacturing

July 11, 2018
Author(s)
Manas Bajaj, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr.
Transforming the manufacturing economy from paper-based information flows to a seamless digital thread across geographically distributed supply chains has the potential to reduce cycle time by 75% and save manufacturers $30 billion annually. The "Digital

Slip Detection: Analysis and Calibration of Univariate Tactile Signals

June 27, 2018
Author(s)
Karl Van Wyk, Joseph A. Falco
he existence of tactile afferents sensitive to slip-related mechanical transients in the human hand augments the robustness of grasping through secondary force modulation protocols. Despite this knowledge and the fact that tactile-based slip detection has

Force modeling for hybrid manufacturing

June 21, 2018
Author(s)
Michael Gomez, Jarred C. Heigel, Tony Schmitz
This paper investigates the cutting forces during the machining of additively manufactured metals. Two pairs of workpieces were produced by powder bed direct metal selective laser sintering. These workpieces included a 17-4 stainless steel substrate

A Standards and Technology Roadmap for Scalable Distributed Manufacturing Systems

June 19, 2018
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Moneer Helu, Timothy A. Sprock
The increasing decentralization of manufacturing has contributed to the growing interest in scalable distributed manufacturing systems (DMSs). The emerging body of work from smart manufacturing, Industrie 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and

Model-based Cosimulation for Industrial Wireless Networks

June 15, 2018
Author(s)
Ging Jeng, Honglei Li, Yanzhou Liu, Yongkang Liu, Mohamed Hany, Rick Candell, Shuvra Bhattacharyya
Wireless communications technology has the potential to provide major benefits in lowering the cost and increasing the efficiency of factory automation (FA) systems. However, design of FA systems that employ wireless networks involves stringent constraints
