Lifelong learning is key to stay at the forefront of innovation. This week, our engineers improved their motion planning skills during a training Michael Ripperger from SwRI Structural Geology & Geomechanics. During this training the participants learned to use Tesseract for constrained and optimization based motion planning. The training focused on applying this new knowledge to large-scale robotics and mobile manipulation using our gantry robot and mobile manipulator. This will be of great value in a wide variety of motion planning problems, where traditional methods are not sufficient.
This training is made possible by the PeneloPe EU project. Within this project, we are designing a zero-defect manufacturing strategy based on online control and quality assurance. PeneloPe works on developing technologies, such as simulation models, online control, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence. Motion planning plays a critical role in all these processes.
Thank you Michael Ripperger for this excellent training! We will use the recording for further dissemination with our partners in the project.
