Not that it's a big deal, but you have previously mentioned working in AR for a specific company (that you name). Also mentioned working on Samsung AR.
I'm not sure if that's the same as this work though.
My previous work in writing AR scripting is still very much in play concerning what I do today. The library's I write now are fully capable of using my AR scripting as I have converted it all to python.
I'm headed up to Rego Park NY soon to write some libraries for a company with yaskawa machines. These new machines are excellent in that they don't have ANY bearings at all. They all have fully magnetic articulating attachments and elbows. I went to a demonstration yesterday and they are dead silent in their operation. They are located net to a child day care center who used to complain about all of the noise coming from next door. Or hopefully its appropriate that I can say ( after we finish )....that they "USED " to complain about the noise. Anyway.....the company we are going out to write hand-in-glove HIG libraries for has a new double line configuration that we have never heard of.
So. There are 2 assembly lines that sit almost side by side except for the fact that there is a row of robots separating them in a serpentine fashion. So....the sandwich looks lie this from a top view. Far left 16 robots....then assembly line....then 14 robots .....then assembly line then 16 robots. The 14 robots in the middle work both assembly lines. Its almost like having one line making Model S's and the other line making Model X's with the middle row of robots knowing how to make both while spinning around from line to line performing functions where needed. Actually in this scenario.... each line could make both S's and X's together, however the company doesn't want to do that. Anywhoo...the first thing that is unique about these robots is that the outside robots are mobile. They leave the assembly line and go out to retrieve the parts they need for the line. Parts won't be brought to them. Its pretty easy for us in that all we have to do is go over to the parts bin and pick up the part from the front of the bin ( as the parts slide down to the front each time the front one is removed) with our HIG and then go over to the assembly line and install the part. There is no welding or anything here...its an adhesive operation that joins parts together. Keep in mind that these assembly lines don't require the part to be put onto a belt or anything .
<----- We didn't do this, but this looks like a HIG program. The robot is moving like a hand.....not like a program. The robot would have to figure out how to move it's arm to follow the HIG movement. It looks like a demo....which is probably why its not really touching the case....but you get the picture.
The most unique part of the programing that we will have to write HIG scripts for is the fact that each robot will have to be able to swap out parts on each other. If any one of a robots sensors, or servos or such goes bad...each robot can request a part replacement from another and have that robot replace said part on the broken robot. We haven't arrived to implement this yet, however I believe everyone in this forum can see where this is going. ( closer to "Tesla level 5" AP for robots).
The company we are going to be working for here adequately ensured us that they are not a robot company and are not looking to become one nor hire anyone on staff to watch robots. They want to finance all of the self healing they can and turn the lights off and have the robots work 24 hours a day in the dark. We'll see.
We don't sell or promote yaskawa or anyone. We just write libraries and code and sometimes install whatever hardware and libraries people want.
