Agile Robotic Planning with Gwendolen

May 31, 2022
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Craig I. Schlenoff, Rafael Cardoso, Michael Fisher
The future of robotics foresees autonomous behavior that can complete tasks intelligently, with a focus on adaptability, flexibility, and versatility. In such systems, it is critical for robots to quickly and safely perform an operation. However, such

AGILE TASKING OF ROBOTIC KITTING

November 4, 2021
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Craig I. Schlenoff, Murat Aksu, Rafael Cardoso, Michael Fisher
Manufacturers are looking for intelligent solutions to increase quality and productivity. Smart manufacturing envisions production empowered by autonomous robots that can complete tasks intelligently, with the focus on adaptability, flexibility, and

Physics-based Simulation of Agile Robotic Systems

November 14, 2019
Author(s)
Pavlo Piliptchak, Murat Aksu, Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski
Development and testing of industrial robot environments is hampered by the limited availability of hardware resources. Simulations provide a more accessible and readily modifiable alternative to physical testing, but also require careful design to ensure

VIRTUAL EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS IN GAZEBO ENVIRONMENT

November 14, 2018
Author(s)
Murat Aksu, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor
Measuring the agility performance of the industrial robots as they are performing in unstructured and dynamic environments is a thought-provoking research topic. This paper investigates the development of industrial robotic simulation algorithms for the

Tolerances and Uncertainty in Robotic Systems

November 8, 2017
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski, Marek Franaszek
The ability to be programmed for a wide range of tasks is what differentiates robots from dedicated automation. Consequently, robots can be faced with often-changing requirements and conditions. Conventional application development based on teach

Automating Asset Knowledge with MTConnect

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh, Sidney Ly, Martin Manning
In order to maximize assets, manufacturers should use real-time knowledge garnered from ongoing and continuous collection and evaluation of factory-floor machine status data. In discrete parts manufacturing, factory machine monitoring has been difficult

Integration of CodeSynthesis and QIF

May 30, 2016
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski
This paper describes using CodeSynthesis "XSD" tool and Xerces C++ XML tools in basic Quality Information Framework (QIF) applications. The targeted platforms are Ubuntu and Linux as well as Microsoft Windows. The emphasis of the document is on the

End-to-End Quality Information Framework (QIF) Technology Survey

May 9, 2016
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Thomas D. Hedberg, Hui-Min Huang, Thomas R. Kramer
The goal of this paper is to understand how quality information characterizing the manufactured parts can be reported in a XML standardized format. The Quality Information Framework (QIF) is an ANSI standard sponsored by the Dimensional Metrology Standards

End-to-end Demonstration of the Quality Information Framework (QIF) Standard at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2014

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Hui-Min Huang, John L. Michaloski, Daniel Campbell, Robert Stone, Thomas Kramer, Curtis Brown, Robert Brown, Gavrai Tatarliev, William Sobel, Lyle Fischer
The "Silos of Quality" in manufacturing can be described as the proliferation of customized quality languages for different stages of production. This quality "tower of babel" results in excessive translations causing loss of information, reduction of

Toward the Ideal of Automating Production Optimization

November 15, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Jorge Arinez, Jonatan Berglund
The advent of improved factory data collection offers a prime opportunity to continuously study and optimize factory operations. Although manufacturing optimization tools can be considered mainstream technology, most U.S. manufacturers do not take full

Toward Better Integration of Vehicle Assembly Production Systems

November 15, 2012
Author(s)
Jorge Arinez, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, William G. Rippey, C J. Yen
In today's manufacturing world, system integration often necessitates composing systems of technology that are not designed to interoperate with each other. This inherent incompatibility results in redundant, non-value added work that is required for

Factory Equipment Network Testing Framework: Concept, Requirements, and Architecture

September 17, 2012
Author(s)
James D. Gilsinn, Kang B. Lee, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Yuyin Song
This document describes the purpose, concept, requirements, and architecture for the Factory Equipment Network Testing (FENT) Framework and the software to test equipment on real-time factory networks. Other documents contain more detailed information
