    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating and evaluating robotic workcell solutions includes: determining a plurality of locations within a workcell volume, wherein each location corresponds to a possible workcell solution; for each location included in the plurality of locations, determining a value for a first robot-motion attribute for a first robot based on position information associated with the location and a trajectory associated with a component of the first robot; and, for each location included in the plurality of locations, computing a first value for a first performance metric based on the value for the first robot-motion attribute.

    Abstract: A robotic assembly cell is configured to generate a physical mesh of physical polygons based on a simulated mesh of simulated triangles. A control application configured to operate the assembly cell selects a simulated polygon in the simulated mesh and then causes a positioning robot in the cell to obtain a physical polygon that is similar to the simulated polygon. The positioning robot positions the polygon on the physical mesh, and a welding robot in the cell then welds the polygon to the mesh. The control application captures data that reflects how the physical polygon is actually positioned on the physical mesh, and then updates the simulated mesh to be geometrically consistent with the physical mesh. In doing so, the control application may execute a multi-objective solver to generate an updated simulated mesh that meets specific design criteria.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for reconfigurable spaces. One of the methods includes identifying plan information relating to a space under evaluation. Constraints related to structures associated with the plan information are identified. Input regarding uses or elements to be included in a reconfigurable design for the space is received. A library of elements for inclusion in the space is evaluated, including determining one or more reconfigurable elements that satisfy the received input. A first configuration of a reconfigurable element is determined including a first placement in a first design associated with the space, and the first design in accordance with the first configuration is presented. A second different configuration is determined, including a second placement in a second different design associated with the space, and the second different design in accordance with the second different configuration is presented.

    Abstract: An assembly engine is configured to generate, based on a computer-aided design (CAD) assembly, a set of motion commands that causes the robot to manufacture a physical assembly corresponding to the CAD assembly. The assembly engine analyzes the CAD assembly to determine an assembly sequence for various physical components to be included in the physical assembly. The assembly sequence indicates the order in which each physical component should be incorporated into the physical assembly and how those physical components should be physically coupled together. The assembly engine further analyzes the CAD assembly to determine different component paths that each physical component should follow when being incorporated into the physical assembly. Based on the assembly sequence and the component paths, the assembly engine generates a set of motion commands that the robot executes to assemble the physical components into the physical assembly.
