Self-configuration of a Robotic Platform to support a self-organized Manufacturing Process (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jimenez, L. A. E., Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J. C., & Barata, J. (2022, October). Self-configuration of a Robotic Platform to support a self-organized Manufacturing Process. Presented at IECON 2022 – 48th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, Brussels, Belgium

Self-configuration in manufacturing is a key trend to generate adaptable production systems. Different product requirements need different machine settings and continuous software update. Existing approaches usually assume that manufacturing resource... Read More about Self-configuration of a Robotic Platform to support a self-organized Manufacturing Process.

Automating the Generation of MBD-Driven Assembly Work Instruction Documentation for Aircraft Components (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papadaki, A. R., Bacharoudis, K., Bainbridge, D., Burbage, N., Turner, A., Sanderson, D., Popov, A. A., & Ratchev, S. M. (2022, June). Automating the Generation of MBD-Driven Assembly Work Instruction Documentation for Aircraft Components. Presented at International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing (FAIM 2022), Detroit, USA

The classical approach to the creation of assembly work instructions for high value, complex products is time-consuming and prone to error. It requires a process engineer to write the work instructions step-by-step and manually insert specific techni...

A Framework for Manufacturing System Reconfiguration based on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twin (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mo, F., Chaplin, J. C., Sanderson, D., Rehman, H. U., Monetti, F. M., Maffei, A., & Ratchev, S. (2022, June). A Framework for Manufacturing System Reconfiguration based on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twin. Presented at Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing International Conference (FAIM 2022), Detroit, USA

The application of digital twins and artificial intelligence to manufacturing has shown potential in improving system resilience, responsiveness, and productivity. Traditional digital twin approaches are generally applied to single, static systems to...

Reference Architecture for Space Production Systems (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanderson, D., Brown, A., Leadbetter, J., Gordon, A., Shires, E., & Ratchev, S. (2022, June). Reference Architecture for Space Production Systems. Presented at eucass-3AF 2022 9th European Conference for Aeronautics and Space Sciences, Lille, France

In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework and reference architecture for space production systems (SPS). A review of the existing digital architecture approaches and standards for space systems identifies a number of potential avenues. Based o...
