ENGT5102: Designing a Smart Collaborative Robot for Industry

This report details the design of a smart collaborative robot for industrial transportation purposes, outlining the aim, objectives, and methodological approach. It covers key requirements such as a smart vision system and lightweight design. The report includes design specifications, alternative analyses of vision systems (1D, 2D, and 3D), and a final design featuring three driving wheels and various sensors. CAD models and vision simulations using Python are presented, along with the integration of IoT features for information sharing and embedded monitoring. The study concludes with a successful initial study, literature review, alternative system identification, and CAD model development, supported by a list of references. Desklib provides access to similar solved assignments and resources for students.

Introduction
 Robots capable of working with humans
 Has its own control system
 It is not a regular industrial robot
 It has force limitation features to ensure the safety of the humans
 It doesn't need external safety systems
 The main function is to direct collaboration with the worker for various task

Aim & Objectives
 The main aim is to develop the design of the collaborative robot for industrial
transportation purpose.
 Objectives
 Carry out the initial study about the collaborative robot
 Collect the various information related to the collaborative robot
 Perform the literature review
 Carry out the design creation process.
 Perform alternative analysis and alternative selection process
 Perform the design development task and simulations

Methodological Approach
Phase 1
• Requirement analysis
• Use case develoment
Phase 2
• CAD model
development
• Simulations of the
developed model
• Result analysis
Phase 3
• Detailed design
• Feasibility analysis
• Risk assessment
• Building, Integrating
and testing
 Model-based engineering is a visual modelling technique

Requirements
 The robot must have a smart vision system
 The vision system of the robot must capable of identifying the objects and
motions around the motion
 For a transporting robot, the payload also considered as the main factor.
 It must be a lightweight and simple design
 Active and passive components must be included

Design Specifications
 The main focus is to develop a smarter and autonomous robot system
 Capable of work in different locations
 Capable of dealing with changing environments and moving objects
 Capable of determining the orientation and shape of the objects
