PROGRAMMING OF THE ENGINEERING
DEPT. ROBOTIC WORKCELL
INTRODUCTION
Project History
In the spring of 2013 The Boeing Company donated four DENSO robotic
arms to the College of Engineering. That fall Team Roboshow, learned
programming and created a work-cell which incorporated multiple safety
features as well as a clear poly-carbonate enclosure for public
demonstration. The team programmed the robot to use a dry-erase
marker to create logos and patterns on a white board.
The following year Team Vandalbot designed a manufacturing process
which could assemble various rivet and nut-plate assemblies in order to
automate a repetitive task currently done by factory workers. The team
was able to validate this process and provide records for future teams.
Our Contribution
In 2016 Team Do-All Robotics was tasked to design a 2
work-cell to improve the cell's manufacturing capabilities. Our team
designed a work-cell with a standalone pedestal for each arm that
eliminated settling time and vibration during operation.
We also created a customizable grid system for a work surface for a
customizable workspace to suit various different manufacturing
capabilities. We retained a clear polycarbonate enclosure for safety and
demonstration purposes.
Our team has also worked towards adding a second arm to the workcell.
By allowing two controllers to interact and running two simultaneous
programs that start at the same time, the robots will not collide so long
as the user has tested the programs in a virtual environment to ensure
the robots do not collide.
