Title: Advances in Energy-Efficient Manufacturing using Industrial Robotics
Over the years, the ability of production plants to operate in a faster and more efficient manner has consistently grown and expanded as technology has further developed. This growth is a result of the constantly steady advances of industrial robotics. In 2016, for the first time, the electronics industry exceeded the automotive industry in demand for industrial robotics in the Asian markets of China, Japan, and Korea. Worldwide, the electronics sector’s share of the robotics market rose steadily to 32% in 2017, almost equal to the automotive sector (33%) [1]. This change indicates that sectors that have not been historical markets for industrial robotics, are now adapting to this robotics revolution. Improvements in Industrial robotics for Energy Efficiency [2]: 1) Improvements in Hardware Selection: such as an improved selection of the robotic systems, new mechanical components that reduce energy use, being able to be more compact, and finding different usages of a robot’s movement. 2) Improvements in Software 3) Improvements in both hardware and Software.  more » « less

    In this paper we present recent advances, current and future market trends in industrial robotics. Artificial Intelligence has evolved as the main feature to characterize Industry 4.0, Next-generation robotics utilize this feature to perform tasks collaboratively, as opposed to the currently deployed industrial robots, which were designed mainly for automation, isolated in cages, and highly-controlled environments. Current data show that China takes the lead in the industrial robotics market with 48% of the top-ten market in 2019. The electronics sector took the lead in robot-deployment in East Asia, and is continuously increasing in deploying industrial robotics in other parts of the world. Studies on the challenges associated with this technology, show that the main concern is the lack of trained labor to handle the technologies in next generation industrial robotics.

    Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming more prevalent across all major world automotive markets. The growth of EVs is being powered by impressive improvements in new battery technology, along with renewable energy advances that have dramatically lowered the costs for a generation of pollution-free electricity. Colleges and universities are challenged to respond to this change, especially those with legacy automotive and transportation programs and those with clean energy technology programs. This study gathered experiences from several U.S. colleges on the leading edge of this trend. Challenges are identified for the deployment of EV charging infrastructure on campus, and recommendations are provided for those seeking to integrate EV charging technology into the curriculum and instruction of existing science, technology, engineering, and math programs.

    Synthetic biology is the process of forward engineering living systems. These systems can be used to produce biobased materials, agriculture, medicine, and energy. One approach to designing these systems is to employ techniques from the design of embedded electronics. These techniques include abstraction, standards, modularity, automated design, and formal semantic models of computation. Together, these elements form the foundation of “biodesign automation,” where software, robotics, and microfluidic devices combine to create exciting biological systems of the future. This paper describes a “hardware, software, wetware” codesign vision where software tools can be made to act as “genetic compilers” that transform high-level specifications into engineered “genetic circuits” (wetware). This is followed by a process where automation equipment, well-defined experimental workflows, and microfluidic devices are explicitly designed to house, execute, and test these circuits (hardware). These systems can be used as either massively parallel experimental platforms or distributed bioremediation and biosensing devices. Next, scheduling and control algorithms (software) manage these systems’ actual execution and data analysis tasks. A distinguishing feature of this approach is how all three of these aspects (hardware, software, and wetware) may be derived from the same basic specification in parallel and generated to fulfill specific cost, performance, and structural requirements.

    Articulated robots are attracting the attention of artists worldwide. Due to their precise, tireless, and efficient nature, robots are now being deployed in different forms of creative expression, such as sculpting, choreography, immersive environments, and cinematography. While there is a growing interest among artists in robotics, programming such machines is a challenge for most professionals in the field, as robots require extensive coding experience and are primarily designed for industrial applications and environments. To enable artists to incorporate robots in their projects, we propose an end-user-friendly robot programming solution using an intuitive spatial computing environment designed for Microsoft Hololens 2. In our application, the robot movements are synchronized with a hologram via network communication. Using natural hand gestures, users can manipulate, animate, and record the hologram similar to 3D animation software, including the advantages of mixed reality interaction. Our solution not only gives artists the ability to translate their creative ideas and movements to an industrial machine but also makes human-robot interaction safer, as robots can now be accurately and effectively operated from a distance. We consider this an important step in a more human-driven robotics community, allowing creators without robot programming experience to easily script and perform complex sequences of robotic movement in service of new arts applications. Making robots more collaborative and safer for humans to interact with dramatically increases their utility, exposure, and potential for social interaction, opens new markets, expands creative industries, and directly locates them in highly visible public spaces.

    In September 2019, the fourth and final workshop on the Future of Mechatronics and Robotics Education (FoMRE) was held at a Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI. This workshop was organized by faculty at several universities with financial support from industry partners and the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the workshops was to create a cohesive effort among mechatronics and robotics courses, minors and degree programs. Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (MRE) is an integration of mechanics, controls, electronics, and software, which provides a unique opportunity for engineering students to function on multidisciplinary teams. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, it attracts diverse and innovative students, and graduates better-prepared professional engineers. In this fast growing field, there is a great need to standardize educational material and make MRE education more widely available and easier to adopt. This can only be accomplished if the community comes together to speak with one clear voice about not only the benefits, but also the best ways to teach it. These efforts would also aid in establishing more of these degree programs and integrating minors or majors into existing computer science, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering departments. The final workshop was attended by approximately 50 practitioners from industry and academia. Participants identified many practical skills required for students to succeed in an MRE curriculum and as practicing engineers after graduation. These skills were then organized into the following categories: professional, independent learning, controller design, numerical simulation and analysis, electronics, software development, and system design. For example, professional skills include technical reports, presentations, and documentation. Independent learning includes reading data sheets, performing internet searches, doing a literature review, and having a maker mindset. Numerical simulation skills include understanding data, presenting data graphically, solving and simulating in software such as MATLAB, Simulink and Excel. Controller design involves selecting a controller, tuning a controller, designing to meet specifications, and understanding when the results are good enough. Electronics skills include selecting sensors, interfacing sensors, interfacing actuators, creating printed circuit boards, wiring on a breadboard, soldering, installing drivers, using integrated circuits, and using microcontrollers. Software development of embedded systems includes agile program design, state machines, analyzing and evaluating code results, commenting code, troubleshooting, debugging, AI and machine learning. Finally, system design includes prototyping, creating CAD models, design for manufacturing, breaking a system down into subsystems, integrating and interfacing subcomponents, having a multidisciplinary perspective, robustness, evaluating tradeoffs, testing, validation, and verification, failure, effect, and mode analysis. A survey was prepared and sent out to the participants from all four workshops as well as other robotics faculty, researchers and industry personnel in order to elicit a broader community response. Because one of the biggest challenges in mechatronics and robotics education is the absence of standardized curricula, textbooks, platforms, syllabi, assignments, and learning outcomes, this was a vital part of the process to achieve some level of consensus. This paper presents an introduction to MRE education, related work on existing programs, methods, results of the practical skills survey, and then draws conclusions based upon these results. It aims to create the foundation for standardizing the development of student skills in mechatronics and robotics curricula across institutions, disciplines, majors and minors. The survey was completed by 94 participants and it was clear that there is a consensus that the primary skills students should have upon completion of MRE courses or a program is a broader multidisciplinary systems-level perspective, an ability to problem solve, and an ability to design a system to meet specifications.
