Programming Of Collaborative Robot (Cobot) To Selectively Disassemble Products To Obtain Critical Materials, Brittany Felder Jan 2019

Programming Of Collaborative Robot (Cobot) To Selectively Disassemble Products To Obtain Critical Materials, Brittany Felder

Research Opportunities for Engineering Undergraduates (ROEU) Program 2018-19

End-of-life products that contain critical materials, such as rare earth magnets, are often discarded even though there is remaining value that can be fed back into a remanufacturing process. This research aims to develop high throughput and economic value recovery from electric machines using collaborative robotics.


Multirobot Confidence And Behavior Modeling: An Evaluation Of Telerobotic Performance And Efficiency, Nathan Lucas Jan 2019

Multirobot Confidence And Behavior Modeling: An Evaluation Of Telerobotic Performance And Efficiency, Nathan Lucas

Wayne State University Dissertations

There is considerable interest in multirobot systems capable of performing spatially distributed, hazardous, and complex tasks as a team. There is also growing interest in manned-unmanned teams leveraging the unique abilities of humans and automated machines working alongside each other. The limitations of human perception and cognition affect the ability of operators to integrate information from multiple mobile robots, switch between their spatial frames of reference, and divide attention among many sensory inputs and command outputs. Automation is necessary to help the operator manage increasing demands as the number of robots scales up. However, more automation does not necessarily equate …
