Title:
AI-Driven Vision System for Detection, Classification, and 6-DoF Pose Estimation of Metal Components
Agreement Number:
1040903
Agreement Value:
$93,000.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2026 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
This project will design, develop, and validate an AI-driven machine vision system capable of detecting, classifying, and estimating the full 6-DoF pose of metal components under real manufacturing conditions. The system will operate as a standalone perception module and as a prerequisite foundation for future flexible robotic assembly applications in low- and mid-volume manufacturing environments.
