Project Multi-robot manufacturing of functional devices Program First Year Investigators Undergraduate Research Program Term 12-Month 2023 Status Closed Research Area Robotics, manufacturing, nanotechnology Description The use of stationary and mobile robots in additive manufacturing is being explored for both on-location building and off-site prefabrication of smart devices. Numerous studies have focused on multi-robot manufacturing systems that enable autonomous 3D printing with human oversight, real-time evaluation of printed shapes, and robot adaptation. This project aims to investigate the integration of multiple robots with printing heads for intelligent device manufacturing. The multi-robot system will be built to realize robotic teamwork for system fabrications. Supervisor Wenzhuo Wu Mentor Type of work required The students will execute the following tasks:
- Learn from the research literature.
- Develop the robotic control platform.
