Publication number: 20250058557Abstract: A method forms a multi-ply laminate. A first cutting system cuts and moves a first group of courses into staging positions. Placement robots pick up and place the first group of courses from the staging positions to a layup surface to form a first ply of the multi-ply laminate, changing an orientation of fibers from an initial orientation to a desired orientation for the first ply. A second cutting system cuts and moves a second group of courses into the staging positions while the placement robots are picking up and placing the first group of courses. The placement robots pick up and place the second group of courses from the staging positions to the layup surface to form a second ply of the multi-ply laminate after the first ply has been formed, changing the orientation of the fibers from the initial orientation to the desired orientation for the second ply.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Shuonan Dong, Austin B.

Patent number: 12093669Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for massively parallel compilation of application code. A compiler application is executed in a compute instance of an elastic computing device.

Publication number: 20240123616Abstract: A bipedal walking robot uses a quasi-passive control scheme and a simplified mechanical design. The walking robot has a pair of legs connected to a body through a passive hip joint, which is offset from a center of gravity of the walking robot. A nonconcentric, curved foot is attached at to each leg by a prismatic joint. Extension and retraction of the prismatic joint initiates the walking sequence of the robot, with each foot retracted during the swing phase and extended during the stance phase. Directional changes are controlled by changing a phase offset in the actuation of each foot.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Carnegie Mellon UniversityInventors: Aaron Johnson, Sarah Bergbreiter, Kamal Carter, Sharfin Islam, Justin Yim, James Kyle
