…AI Robot Programming Assistance Lead: University of Memphis Partners: READY Robotics, FedEx, DeepHow Description: There are technologies that can now dramatically reduce the knowledge necessary to program and install a robot, using no-code methods that make robotic programming accessible to those on the factory floor. However, there is still the limitation of process automation knowledge that can bottleneck or be a detriment to a successful robotic installation. This project aims to create an assistance system that can act as a stopgap for this lack of expertise by providing suggestions and corrections during robot task programming. This system will use artificial…
