Title:

Developing processing algorithms for building component models

Agreement Number:

995399

Agreement Value:

$30,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 1, 2022 - Feb 28, 2023

Description:

This project tackles a novel technical challenge in the use of robotic automation for the production and assembly of light-wood-framing building components. The adoption of generic robots removes the restriction on acquiring dedicated special-purpose CNC machinery in the existing production line, thereby creating a scalable and flexible prefabrication solution for the housing industry. Specifically, the goal of the project is to create an AI-assisted pipeline from CAD to Robotic Aided Manufacturing to generate robotic control code, sequencing and motion planning. This project will result in a complete automated software workflow for offline planning and motion control of robotics for building component manufacturing.
