Realization of
Attentive Workbench |
|
|
Brief Explanation |
Attentive Workbench
(AWB) is an intelligent human-supporting system in cell production (i.e.
manual assembly system). According to the progress of assembly, the system delivers
necessary assembly parts to human workers using self-moving parts trays. This
support brings higher productivity than conventional cell production systems.
In this research, the delivery of parts will be realized using the real
hardware of self-moving trays, which has been developed up to now. |
|
|
Research Steps |
1. Developing a logical-level
program of tray control system based on the sequential description of
assembly process (two month) 2. Developing a low-level
program for controlling trays (one month) 3. Developing a control
system of trays by integrating logical-level program and low-level programs (one
month) 4. System demonstration through
real assembly activity (one month) |
|
|
Period |
5 months, but can be
extended as a 10-month project, by including hardware experiments. |

Necessary Background,
Knowledge, Skills |
Fundamental knowledge
about manufacturing systems. Skills of UNIX/Windows
C++ programming. |
