Process Overview

This case study demonstrates the installation of a KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robot at Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) to transport rollers and scrap debris within the space manufacturing facility. The KMP 1500P autonomously handles up to 1 ton of scrap debris over a 1.2 km distance and automatically transports heavy-duty roller modules weighing up to 1 ton. Furthermore, sensors embedded in the KMP 1500P enabled the development of an unmanned system capable of safely transporting heavy-duty materials.

Project Background and Purpose

Automated unmanned transport using autonomous robots
Robots perform simple, repetitive tasks
Safe operation of heavy-duty products using various sensors
Remote control and monitoring using SOLlink

Components

Robot	KUKA KMP 1500P *2
Peripherals	2 automatic robot charging stations; 1 manual robot charging station; 1 hardware PC for KUKA robot server; 1 license for KUKA robot server; 2 SOLlink tablet controllers; 1 SOLlink server; 5 robot transport carts; 10 cart stations

Workflow

STEP 1.	Loading of carts in the departure area (loading area)
STEP 2.	Work command via SOLlink (tablet)
STEP 3.	Loading carts in the departure area using a robot lift
STEP 4.	Transporting carts to the destination area
STEP 5.	Unloading carts using a robot lift
STEP 6.	Setting automatic charging during non-work hours
STEP 7.	Charging
STEP 8.	Waiting for work after recovering to the preset battery level
STEP 9.	When robots cross, give way to the robot with priority and then cross (priority granting criteria: order of work commands)

Recommended Use Cases

Boston Dynamics Spot: The Autonomous Mobile Robot (Robot Dog)

This security and patrol automation solution utilizes Spot, the quadruped robot dog developed by Boston Dynamics. Spot is an agile, four-legged robot designed to be rugged and highly customizable. It is perfectly suited for unstructured environments, capable of climbing stairs and traversing rough, uneven terrain that traditional wheeled robots cannot access. By incorporating the Clearpath ROS Package for Spot, robotics researchers and developers can take full advantage of out-of-the-box ROS (Robot Operating System) functionality. This allows for accelerated development by leveraging widely available open-source libraries, tools, and the extensive global ROS community.

High-Payload Logistics Success! Lead Tab Automatic Transfer with OMRON AMR

This implementation case demonstrates the automation of heavy product transportation using Omron AMR Logistics . The client introduced a Logistics automation system to reduce inefficiencies and labor burdens arising from repetitive and heavy Logistics tasks. In particular, they aimed to reduce costs and maximize Logistics efficiency through the automation of palletizing and return operations. By automating the simple, repetitive tasks of product movement and stacking, this solution increased the efficiency and accuracy of the outbound process, reduced the burden on workers, and enhanced safety and productivity.

Computer Parts Transport using PuduBot, a Compact Autonomous Delivery Robot

This logistics automation solution utilizes a compact AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) to perform indoor material transport tasks. Based on multi-sensor fusion including Lidar, Camera, RGBD, IMU, and Encoders, the robot can move freely within designated areas. It supports both a "Delivery Mode" for transporting items to specific locations and a "Cruise Mode" for moving repeatedly along a pre-set path. By facilitating the movement of goods within the workplace, this solution reduces worker fatigue caused by repetitive manual labor and increases overall operational efficiency. It can also safely transport chemical, fresh, or medical supplies, as well as hazardous materials, within the facility. IMU: A sensor-based device that measures the velocity, orientation, gravity, and acceleration of a moving object. Encoder: A transducer in digital electronic circuits that converts signals from one code sequence to another.
