    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure are directed towards generating a trajectory for use by a robot to perform an operation on a target object. A method includes a robot instructed to traverse a surface of the target object from the starting position and obtain sensor input from a sensor system of the robot using a first trajectory specified by a CAD file for the target object. Sensor input that includes a first height to the target object, a width of the seam, and a depth of the seam may be received. A second trajectory may be generated for traversing the surface of the target object and that modifies the first trajectory based on the sensor input. The robot may be instructed to move to the starting position and traverse the surface of the target object using the second trajectory and apply a sealant to the seam.

    摘要: A pump mechanism for dispensing a sealant is described. The pump mechanism can include a housing comprising a cavity; a tubing track arranged in the cavity, the tubing track having a curved surface inward from the housing; a tubing arranged in proximity to the curved surface of the tubing track; a rotor assembly arranged inward from the curved surface and the tubing, the rotor assembly comprising a rotor and a first roller in contact with the tubing, the first roller compressing the tubing to reduce fluidic communication between a first end and a second end of the tubing; a motor in operable communication with the rotor assembly; and a computing device configured to control a rotational speed of the rotor based on a velocity of a tool center point (TCP) of the robot.
