Publication number: 20230386012Abstract: A vision analytics and validation (VAV) system for providing an improved inspection of robotic assembly, the VAV system comprising a trained neural network three-way classifier, to classify each component as good, bad, or do not know, and an operator station configured to enable an operator to review an output of the trained neural network, and to determine whether a board including one or more “bad” or a “do not know” classified components passes review and is classified as good, or fails review and is classified as bad. In one embodiment, a retraining trigger to utilize the output of the operator station to train the trained neural network, based on the determination received from the operator station.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Bright Machines, Inc.Inventors: Melinda Varga, Konstantinos Boulis, Oytun Akman, Julio Soldevilla Estrada, Brian Philip Mathews

Publication number: 20230015238Abstract: A method for vision-based tool localization (VTL) in a robotic assembly system including one or more calibrated cameras, the method comprising capturing a plurality of images of the tool contact area from a plurality of different vantage points, determining an estimated position of the tool contact area based on an image, and refining the estimated position based on another image from another vantage point. The method further comprises providing the refined position to the robotic assembly system to enable accurate control of the tool by the robotic assembly system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Bright Machines, Inc.Inventors: Barrett Clark, Oytun Akman, Matthew Brown, Ronald Poelman, Brian Philip Mathews, Emmanuel Gallo, Ali Shafiekhani

Patent number: 7689387Abstract: A computer implemented system, method, and article of manufacture provide access to a drawing. A server computer has one or more server component applications. One or more drawing files are created by a first drawing application and stored on the server computer. A search server component application executes on the server computer and provides a query engine that allows queries of the one or more drawing files to locate data. A conversion server component application executes on the server computer and dynamically convert the drawing files into a drawing file format viewable by a client application executing on a client compute. The server component applications are further configured to provide the one or more drawing files that have been dynamically converted to the client computer.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Autodesk, Inc.Inventors: Brian Philip Mathews, Ratnakar G.
