…Tracking Complex Geometric Paths Lead: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Partners: GE Research, Southwest Research Institute, Wason Technology Description: This project aims to autonomously create a high-speed and high-precision curvilinear robot tool trajectory on a complex curved geometry using industrial robots with redundant degrees of freedom, to reduce or eliminate the need for manual tuning often required today. The project will develop an optimization approach to decompose a given path to a sequence of robot motion primitives to achieve minimum cycle time with guaranteed tracking accuracy. Simulation-based data will be used to train machine learning tools to reduce the optimization computation time.…
