Intelligent Material Handling Systems - Mobile Manipulation:Intelligent Sensor-based Robotic Strategies for Material Handling

该奖项是ENG/CEISE在智能材料处理系统方面的联合研究重点。这项研究以移动平台和机械臂的集成控制的形式来研究材料搬运的移动操纵。这样的集成系统可以在材料处理方面提供重大进步，为此类系统提供广泛的新功能。这包括在部分模型化的环境中运作的能力，执行与材料处理相关的各种操作任务的能力，以及实时执行这些任务的能力。高度跨学科的研究团队汇集了广泛的使能技术，包括系统架构、机器人建模、传感、导航规划、反应控制、微操作等。佐治亚理工学院现有的材料搬运研究中心的参与将为测试想法和促进向感兴趣的行业合作伙伴转让技术提供一个合适的场所。

This award is in the joint ENG/CISE research thrust in Intelligent Material Handling Systems. This research effort studies mobile manipulation for material handling, in the form of integrated control of a mobile platform and robotic arm. Such an integrated system can offer major advances in material handling, providing a wide range of new capabilities for such systems. This includes the ability to function in a partially modelled environment, the ability to carry out a diverse set of operational tasks relevant to material handling, and the ability to carry out those tasks in real time. The highly interdisciplinary research team brings together a wide-ranging collection of enabling technologies including system architecture, robotic modeling, sensing, navigational planning, reactive control, micromanipulation, and others. The involvement of Georgia Tech's existing Materials Handling Research Center will provide an appropriate venue for both testing of ideas and facilitation of technology transfer to interested industrial partners.
