  • Publication number: 20210323164
    Abstract: A system and method that automatically resolves conflicts among sensor information in a sensor fusion robot system. Such methods can accommodate converging ambiguous and divergent sensor information in a manner that can allow continued, and relatively accurate, robotic operations. The processes can include handling sensor conflict via sensor prioritization, including, but not limited, prioritization based on the particular stage or segment of the assembly operation when the conflict occurs, overriding sensor data that exceeds a threshold value, and/or prioritization based on evaluations of recent sensor performance, predictions, system configuration, and/or historical information. The processes can include responding to sensor conflicts through comparisons of the accuracy of workpiece location predictions from different sensors during different assembly stages in connection with arriving at a determination of which sensor(s) is providing accurate and reliable predictions.

  • Publication number: 20210328369
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base and a row of conductive terminals, including at least one pair of differential signal terminals and multiple ground terminals. Each conductive terminal is in contact with a mating component. The conductive terminals include a terminal group having two ground terminals and one pair of differential signal terminals located between the two ground terminals. In the terminal group, a pitch between the pair of differential signal terminals is defined as a first pitch, a pitch between each differential signal terminal and its adjacent ground terminal is defined as a second pitch, and the first pitch is less than the second pitch. A pitch between another ground terminal adjacent to the terminal group and an adjacent ground terminal in the terminal group is defined as a third pitch, which is greater than the second pitch. The electrical connector and the mating component form a connector assembly.

  • Publication number: 20210323158
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic recovery from a failure in a robotic assembly operation using multiple sensor input. Moreover, following detection of an error in an assembly operation from data provided by a first sensor, a recovery plan can be executed, and, if successful, a reattempt at the failed assembly operation can commence. The assembly stage during which the error occurred can be detected by a second sensor that is different from the first sensor. Identification of the assembly stage can assist with determining the recovery plan, as well as identifying the assembly operation that is to be reattempted. The failure can be detected by comparing information obtained from a sensor, such as, for example, a force signature, with corresponding historical information, including historical information obtained at the identified assembly stage for prior workpieces.

  • Publication number: 20210108433
    Abstract: A vehicle lift and storage system (VLSS) can have distributed control and power networks. The VLSS includes a central control unit (CCU) and a plurality of distributed control units (DCUs). Each of the DCUs is associated with and can control one or more vehicle lifts within the VLSS. For instance, each DCU can include high voltage switches (e.g., contactors) for operating one or more motors for moving vehicle platforms on the vehicle lifts associated with that DCU. The CCU can generate and transmit commands to cause the DCU to activate or deactivate the motors in accordance with desired vehicle storage or retrieval operations. Furthermore, the DCUs are configurable to be daisy chained such that a first DCU can communicate with the CCU on the control network via a second DCU and the first DCU can further receive high voltage power for operating its associated motors via the second DCU.
