Flexible robot-based inline quality monitoring using picture-giving sensors

As part of the ROBOSENS project, the IITB developed and tested a new four-step concept for multiple sensor quality monitoring. The robot-based system uses an array of test-specific short-range and wide-range sensors which make the inspection process more flexible and problem-specific. To test this innovative inline quality monitoring concept and to adapt it to customized tasks, a development and demonstration platform (DDP) was created. It consists of an industrial robot with various sensor ports - a so-called "sensor magazine" - with various task-specific, interchangeable sensors and a flexible transport system
