On the Feasibility of 3D Printing with Multicopters

In recent years, large-scale and fully-remote 3D printing with robots has garnered significant interest in construction applications. Combining the design freedom of 3D printing with a robot's versatility offers unique and promising opportunities for …

Towards Online Monitoring and Data-Driven Control: A Study of Segmentation Algorithms for Laser Powder Bed Fusion Processes

An increasing number of laser powder bed fusion machines use off-axis infrared cameras to improve online moni- toring and data-driven control capabilities. However, there is still a severe lack of algorithmic solutions to properly process the …

From Agile Ground to Aerial Navigation: Learning from Learned Hallucination

This paper presents a self-supervised Learning from Learned Hallucination (LfLH) method to learn fast and reactive motion planners for ground and aerial robots to navigate through highly constrained environments. The recent Learning from …

Geometrical Analysis of Simple Contours Deposited by a 3D Printing Hexacopter

Current limitations in vertical and horizontal mobility for ground robots in 3D printing of medium to large-scale objects have recently led to the development of a 3D printing hexacopter testbed at the University of Texas at Austin. This testbed can …

A 3D Printing Hexacopter: Design and Demonstration

3D printing using robots has garnered significant interest in manufacturing and construction in recent years. A robot's versatility paired with the design freedom of 3D printing offers promising opportunities for how parts and structures are built in …

An Encoder-Decoder Based Approach for Anomaly Detection with Application in Additive Manufacturing

We present a novel unsupervised deep learning approach that utilizes an encoder-decoder architecture for detecting anomalies in sequential sensor data collected during industrial manufacturing. Our approach is designed to not only detect whether …

Graph Temporal Logic Inference for Classification and Identification

Inferring spatial-temporal properties from data is important for many complex systems, such as additive manufacturing systems, swarm robotic systems and biological networks. Such systems can often be modeled as a labeled graph where labels on the …

Predictive Iterative Learning Control with Data-Driven Model for Optimal Laser Power in Selective Laser Sintering

Building high quality parts is still a key challenge for Selective Laser Sintering machines today due to a lack of sufficient process control. In order to improve process control, we propose a Predictive Iterative Learning Control (PILC) controller …
