In modern manufacturing setups, efficient resource allocation and real-time responsiveness are more crucial than ever. This is where Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) comes into play, bridging human intelligence with robotic precision. Enter Titan: our cutting-edge drone designed to facilitate tool transportation within a factory. Imagine a scenario where an operator is on the assembly line and needs a specific tool immediately; Titan can autonomously locate, pick up, and deliver the tool, reducing downtime and boosting productivity.
Titan is engineered for autonomous indoor flights and comes equipped with an RGB camera, a gimbal, and a gripper. These aren't just hardware add-ons; they are mission-critical components. Titan employs advanced tool detection algorithms that enable it to identify and securely grasp specific tools, making it a key player in intelligent resource management within the factory.
Current Milestones
We've successfully built Titan and carried out manual and pre-planned outdoor missions to validate its functionalities. These initial tests have set a promising precedent for the next stages of its development.
The Road Ahead
Our immediate focus is on integrating an indoor positioning system, which will allow Titan to navigate complex indoor spaces autonomously. This feature is pivotal for making real-time adjustments in tool delivery routes based on the dynamically changing needs of human operators in a factory setting.
