Abstract: A method for tuning the force control parameters for a general robotic assembly operation. The method uses numerical optimization to evaluate different combinations of the parameters for a robot force controller in a simulation environment that is built based on a real-world robotic setup. This method performs autonomous tuning for assembly tasks based on closed loop force control simulation, where random samples from a distribution of force control parameter values are evaluated, and the optimization routine iteratively redefines the parameter distribution to find optimal values of the parameters. Each simulated assembly is evaluated using multiple simulations including random part positioning uncertainties. The performance of each simulated assembly is evaluated by the average of the simulation results, thus ensuring that the selected control parameters will perform well in most possible conditions. Once the parameters have been optimized, they are applied to real robots to perform the actual assembly operation.

Abstract: Topside modules are fabricated at a production site using as a foundation for installation a gravity-based structure (GBS), which can stay afloat during water transportation. Modules fabrication includes: Stage I, fabrication of components; Stage II, fabrication of nodes from the components; Stage III, fabrication of sub-assemblies from the nodes; Stage IV, shotblasting and painting of assemblies; and Stage V, assembling modules from the assemblies. Then modules transportation, movement to their seats on the GBS and their integration include: Stage VI, moving the modules to an area near the dock using self-propelled vehicles. Stage VII, moving each module onto guides of a lifting system installed in a dry dock. Stage VIII, lifting each module until lifting system guides are connected with GBS top slab guides. Stage IX, moving each module to its seat on the GBS, installed on the GBS and integrated with other modules and the GBS.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for optimizing operation at a manufacturing assembly line are disclosed. A method for optimizing operation at a manufacturing assembly line having a track on which a plurality of shuttles travel, the track including one or more stations at which a production task occurs and one or more track areas defined relative to the one or more stations, includes monitoring shuttle operation data associated with the plurality of shuttles on the track, and track sensor data associated with an operation state of the track; detecting an operation variation at the manufacturing assembly line based on the shuttle operation data; in response to detecting the operation variation, analyzing the shuttle operation data and the track sensor data to determine one or more degradation causes resulting in the operation variation; and generating an operation recommendation for resolving at least one degradation cause of the one or more degradation causes.

Abstract: A fastening tool. In the fastening tool, a top part guiding matching portion engages a top part guiding portion in a sliding fit; a pressing part guiding matching portion engages a pressing part guiding portion in a sliding fit; a lever hinged to a base part; a transmission part engages a transmission part guiding slot in a sliding fit; the transmission part is driven to slide by the pressing part, and the lever is driven to rotate by the transmission part, then the top part is driven to slide out, due to a reaction force acting on the pressing part by the transmission part and the friction between the pressing part and the base part, the pressing part remains to be self-locked by friction, which can constrain the pressing part and the top part is locked.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assembling an airframe of an aircraft, including receiving a half barrel section of fuselage, advancing the half barrel section in a process direction across multiple stations to separately and simultaneously perform work on the half barrel sections, and subsequently joining the half barrel segments to form a section of the airframe. Each pair of half barrel sections, such as upper and lower half barrels, are progressed through assembly line processes to be delivered to a joining station for joining the half barrels together to form a circumferential section of the fuselage. Multiple joined circumferential sections are joined together to form an elongated extent of the fuselage. Indexing features are provided in the assembly process to monitor and control the progression of the half barrel sections in the work stations of the assembly line process.
