Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, that provide for optical techniques for manufacturing robots, such as for filtering certain reflections when scanning an object. For example, the techniques may include receiving, from a detector, sensor data based on detected light, the detected light including reflections of light projected by one or more emitters and reflected off of an object. The techniques may further include determining, based on the sensor data, a first-order reflection and a second-order reflection. The techniques may also include determining, based on the first-order reflection and a second-order reflection, a difference, the difference includes a polarity difference, an intensity difference, or a combination thereof. The techniques may include filtering the second-order reflection based on the difference Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to optical systems and methods for determining the shape and/or size of objects that include projecting a pattern of light onto the object. The pattern of light can be configured such that first-order reflections can be distinguished from second- and/or higher-order reflections, which can be rejected. Thus, even in instances in which the pattern of light is reflected onto the object multiple times, the original, or first-order, reflection can be detected, distinguished, and/or used for laser triangulation. In some embodiments, a pattern of light that does not have reflection and/or rotational symmetry is projected onto the object, such that second-order and/or higher-order reflections can be distinguished from the first-order reflection.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, which provide for welding techniques for manufacturing robots, such as seam localization, gap measurement, or both. For example, the welding techniques may include, during illumination of one or more objects by a light source, controlling a camera to capture images of the one or more objects along at least a portion of a length of a seam formed by the one or more objects. The techniques further include differentiating, in the images, the seam from the one or more objects. In a first aspect, the techniques also include triangulating the differentiated seam to identify a position of the seam relative to a reference point. In a second aspect, the techniques also include determining, based on the differentiated seam, gap information along a portion of the seam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: In some examples, an autonomous robotic welding system comprises a workspace including a part having a seam, a sensor configured to capture multiple images within the workspace, a robot configured to lay weld along the seam, and a controller. The controller is configured to identify the seam on the part in the workspace based on the multiple images, plan a path for the robot to follow when welding the seam, the path including multiple different configurations of the robot, and instruct the robot to weld the seam according to the planned path.

Abstract: Systems and methods for real time feedback and for updating welding instructions for a welding robot in real time is described herein. The data of a workspace that includes a part to be welded can be received via at least one sensor. This data can be transformed into a point cloud data representing a three-dimensional surface of the part. A desired state indicative of a desired position of at least a portion of the welding robot with respect to the part can be identified. An estimated state indicative of an estimated position of at least the portion of the welding robot with respect to the part can be compared to the desired state. The welding instructions can be updated based on the comparison.
