Sensors use AI to assist robotic weld grinding
- March 13, 2024
- Product Release
- Automation and Robotics
Kane Robotics has developed visual sensors for its cobot that use artificial intelligence to replicate the human eye. According to the company, the Grit Vision System can assess uneven surfaces and enable its cobot to make real-time adjustments in weld grinding operations.
A human operator sets up the cobot and attaches the necessary tools for the weld grinding process, then monitors and adjusts the process through a live custom interface. Using the camera, the vision system then “sees” uneven surfaces on a weld or seam. The rapid-learning AI alerts the cobot’s robotic arm and steers it accordingly.
While originally developed for weld grinding, the system is compatible with various robotic components and customizable for diverse applications, from polishing aerospace parts to sanding furniture.
