- Multi-Modal Sensing for Heavy-Manufacturing Robotic Welding
- Loukas, Charalampos (Principal Investigator) MacLeod, Charles Norman (Principal Investigator)
- Fusion welding of metals is a joining method fundamental to High-Value Manufacturing (HVM). Distinctive challenges such as the global shortage of welders and the increasing requirement for high-integrity components in the energy and defence sectors fuel the need to research and adopt digital welding
technologies such as sensor-enabled robotic welding. Surface and volumetric sensing approaches at the point of manufacture coupled with real-time robotic motion offer the possibility to control, adapt and consistently ensure defect-free fusion. This project seeks to investigate novel event-based neuromorphic vision sensing coupled to high-temperature in-process ultrasonic imaging to deliver high-integrity welds right the first time. - 26-Jan-2023 - 30-Jan-2023
