    摘要: Described herein is a decontamination device for use in vehicle applications. The decontamination device includes a device body and an ultraviolet (UV) light, and the decontamination device is 12-24 inches in length and has a narrow form factor for fitting into crevices and nooks of a vehicle. The UV light includes a first UV light source disposed on a first side of the device body and a second UV light source disposed on a second side of the device body and that is opposite the first side. The first and second UV light sources are coupled to the device body and configured to move together relative to the device body. The first UV light source is operable to emit light in an opposite direction than light emitted from the second UV light source.

    摘要: A method is provided for detecting a mechanical end stop of a motion system comprising a base designed to receive a motion stage, a machine frame and an active isolation system comprising actuators arranged to impart a six degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion to the base, inertial sensors arranged to provide a six DOF measurement, the mechanical end stop being arranged to limit the base's motion relative to the machine frame. The method includes selecting a translational DOF, and determining, using a process sensitivity matrix of a mechanical system comprising the base and the active isolation system, a force to be applied to the base by the actuators to cause an oscillatory motion of the base in the translational DOF. The method further includes applying the force to obtain the oscillatory motion, and detecting a mechanical contact between the base and the mechanical end stop using the inertial sensors.

    摘要: A robotic system is presented that includes a surface inspection system that receives sampling information for a number of areas within a region of a worksurface. The system also includes a robotic arm, coupled to a surface engaging tool, the robotic repair arm being configured to cause the surface processing tool to engage the region of the worksurface. The system also includes a process mapping system configured to, based on the sampling information: approximate a surface topography in the region of the worksurface, generate a surface processing plan for the region based on the approximated surface topography that includes a trajectory. The surface processing plan includes one of: a force profile along the trajectory, a velocity profile for the surface engaging tool along the trajectory, a rotational speed profile, for the surface engaging tool, along the trajectory, or a trajectory modification that accounts for the presence of a surface feature identified in the approximated surface topography. The process mapping system is also configured to generate a control signal for the robotic arm that includes the surface processing plan.
