Presidential Young Investigator Award: An Intelligent Planning Environment for Dimensional Inspection

这项研究的目的是双重的。第一个目标是开发一种用于制造对象的自动尺寸检测系统。第二个目标是开发智能检查规划环境。这两个目标将从几个跨学科的角度和自动化技术的几个层面上加以解决，从设施自动化到信息和决策自动化。为促进柔性制造系统中自动检测的集成，提出了自动化努力，包括设施级别的坐标测量机(CMM)和计算机数控(NC)机床，信息级别的计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造(CAD/CAM)系统和集成数据库，以及决策级别的人工智能(AI)技术。

The objective of this research is twofold. The first objective is to develop an automated dimensional inspection system for manufactured objects. The second objective is to develop an intelligent inspection planning environment. These two objectives will be addressed from several interdisciplinary perspectives and at several levels of automation technology, ranging from the facility automation to information and decision automation. Automation efforts, including coordinate measurement machines (CMM), and computer numerical control (CNC) machines at the facility level, computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems and integrated databases at the information level, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies at the decision-making level, are proposed to facilitate the integration of automated inspection in flexible manufacturing systems.
