Aptiv Technologies Limited (St. Michael, Barbados) has been issued patent number 11888262, according to news reporting originating out of Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx editors. The patent’s inventors are Brantingham, Duane Lee (Cortland, OH, US), Peterson, David R. (Aurora, OH, US), Sudik, Jr., Joseph (Niles, OH, US). This patent was filed on December 11, 2020 and was published online on January 30, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the following quote: “An electrical connector typically comprises a housing having at least a portion of a wire cable disposed therein. The electrical connector is electrically connected to another electrical system (e.g., a corresponding electrical connector) and the connection is secured by a connector position assurance (CPA) feature (a clip, a latch, etc.). Manual installation of electrical connectors by a human installer can be time consuming and costly, particularly for less experienced human installers and for more complex installation projects. Automated installation by a robotic installer may be preferable to manual human installation due to increased speed and decreased costs. The robotic installer, however, must be able to accurately identify the electrical connector and obtain movable control of it in order to complete the robotic installation. Complex visual scanning systems could be utilized by the robotic installer, but this could further increase costs. Accordingly, while conventional electrical connectors and conventional robotic installers work well for their intended purpose, an opportunity exists for improvement in the art of robotic installation of electrical connectors.
