積層造形におけるロボット高粘度流体ディスペンシングの集中定数モデリングと制御

原文アブストラクト

In this paper, we present a novel flow model and compensation strategy for high-viscosity fluid deposition that yields high quality parts in the face of large transient delays and nonlinearity. Robotic high-viscosity fluid deposition is an essential process for a broad range of manufacturing applications including additive manufacturing, adhesive and sealant dispensing, and soft robotics. However, high-viscosity fluid deposition without compensation can lead to poor part quality and defects due to large transient delays and complex fluid dynamics. Our computationally efficient model is well-suited to real-time control and can be quickly calibrated and our compensation strategy leverages an iterative Linear-Quadratic Regulator to compute compensated deposition paths that can be deployed on most dispensing systems, without additional hardware. We demonstrate the improvements provided by our method when 3D printing using a robotic manipulator.
