…scale Principal investigator: RTX Technology Research Center Project Team: Carnegie Mellon University, Wason Technology LLC., Collins Aerospace Description: Lightweight, carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (TPCs) are recognized as a key material capable of meeting the future aerospace market high-rate demands, while also providing sustainability benefits. One challenging, but key enabler of high-rate TPC manufacturing is welding. In a prior ARM Institute-funded project called Rapid Welding of Thermoplastic Composite Structures, robotic continuous ultrasonic welding was shown to increase the speed of induction. This project will build on the outputs from the prior project in order to scale it to production use. Fixtureless…

…of every movement. Recent breakthroughs in robotic proprioception at Carnegie Mellon University have propelled us closer to imbuing robots with a simulated version of this remarkable ability (see video below). Picture a robot that can not only comprehend its physical form, but also construct an intricate internal model of its limbs and their positions within three-dimensional space. This development isn't about instilling a sense of self in machines; it's about equipping them with a foundational framework to execute tasks with safe precision around human co-workers. Visualize a manufacturing facility where robots and humans work hand in hand, using virtual proprioception…
