Advanced manufacturing and assembly require flexible automation technologies to enhance production efficiency and product quality, especially for high product mix and variable volumes. While industrial robots offer flexibility, they lack the precision needed for certain tasks. GTMI and the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) are developing flexible automation technologies for precision manufacturing. Research focuses on accurate industrial robotics, data-driven modeling of robot behavior, hybrid manufacturing systems, and robotics for biomanufacturing. Supported by industry and government, this work includes close collaboration with industry at the Boeing Manufacturing Development Center and is backed by IRIM and the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Manufacturing Innovation Institute.
