Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Research findings on robotics are disc ussed in a new report. According to news originating from Islamabad, Pakistan, b y NewsRx editors, the research stated, "With the rapid advancement in the manufa cturing industry, there has been a massive rise in the demand for products made of fiber reinforced polymer composites as they have high stiffness and strength to weight ratios." The news editors obtained a quote from the research from National University of Science and Technology (NUST): "They are widely used in the manufacturing of par ts in aerospace and automobile industry. The manual draping process of prepreg o n the mold is time intensive and requires a highly skilled worker to perform the task. Various techniques have been designed to automate the process of composit e parts manufacturing using automated fiber placement (AFP), automated tape layi ng (ATL) and automated plies layup. These methods use robots equipped with an en d effector designed to drape the prepreg. The system utilizes both single and mu lti-robot cells for the process of composites manufacturing. The aim of this pap er is to review the techniques and strategies employed for conforming and graspi ng of prepreg."
