Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-04407, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Fidan, Baris (University of Waterloo), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : This Engage project will focus on the investigation of possible methodologies of automating placement of parts_x000D_
to be plated on plating line racks. The utmost aim of doing this investigation is two-fold: (i) precise and_x000D_
detailed reporting of robotic manipulation needs for KEI plating lines and possible solutions; and (ii) forming a_x000D_
base for follow-up research and development of robotic manipulator systems for racking in such electroplating_x000D_
lines. The final outputs of the project will be a detailed report on robotic manipulation needs on KEI plating_x000D_
lines and possible solutions, a virtual model and design details of an automated robotic racking system based_x000D_
on the identified high fidelity system model, and conceptual design of a robotic manipulation system prototype._x000D_
The obtained virtual system model will also be a key tool for later research studies on development of an actual_x000D_
