  • Publication number: 20230086122
    Abstract: An exemplary method and system are disclosed to flexibly and adaptably manufacture and assemble a workpiece by using recordings of a user in machine learning/artificial intelligence algorithms to train a robot for subsequent automated manufacture. Machine learning and artificial intelligence learning can generate libraries of generalized dynamic motion primitives that can be subsequently combined for any type of manufacturing or assembling activity. The exemplary method and system can flexibly generate a model of an existing workpiece as a template or primer workpiece that can then be used in conjunction with the DMP operations to fabricate subsequent workpieces.

  • Publication number: 20220226994
    Abstract: An exemplary scheduler system and method are disclosed that can schedule a plurality of heterogenous robots to perform a set of tasks using heterogeneous graph attention network models. The exemplary scheduler system and method can outperform other work in multi-robot scheduling both in terms of schedule optimality and the total number of feasible schedules found and also in a scalable framework that can be trained via imitation-based Q-learning operations. The exemplary scheduler system and method can autonomously learn scheduling policies on multiple application domains.
