Development of an affordable and auto-reconfigurable solution for small box assembly (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Wang, Z., Kendall, P., Gumma, K., Smith, A., Turner, A., & Ratchev, S. (2022, June). Development of an affordable and auto-reconfigurable solution for small box assembly. Paper presented at 10th IFAC Conference on Manufacturing Modelling, Management and Control, Nantes, France

The aerospace manufacturing industry has been using dedicated assembly systems with manual processes for decades. Not only is this labour-intensive, it is also extremely wasteful as no reuse is possible at the end of a product life cycle. As automati...
