Autonomous Robotic Polishing System
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe objectives of this project are to develop an autonomous polishing system using a 6 degree of freedom (DOF) robot arm, to quantify the neurocognitive basis of tacit knowledge in manufacturing, and to lay the groundwork for a human-like polishing system by combining the first two objectives. To do so we worked in parallel on a robotic polishing system and a functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) experiment on car body technicians. We were able to control the robot using a velocity controller and began creation of an impedance controller. We succeeded in determining that skill level at polishing results in differences in brain activity during the task, and we identified high level patterns in neurocognitive activity during a polishing task.
