I'd say 80% of the panels I've built has required human interpretation due to the fact that the design documents and drawings have a lot of errors or are just not complete enough. Only after the engineers get their technical and wiring diagrams right can we start thinking about making a robot blindly follow those instructions

"design documents and drawings have a lot of errors" 1:28 I spy bare copper on the connector. Looks like the engineers forgot to add end plate to appliance list.

AI is coming. It will find all faults, even faults in your wiring and fix all of if it.

Please add a time-lapse video for a complete panel, with an reasonable amount of components and wires.

I was thinking the same thing

This way of wiring is designed for humans, instead of forcing robots into it, we should instead redesign the whole process so it is more fitting for a robot

You are right, that is also our philosophy: avoid processes if possible, if not possible design automation-friendly. Check out our ”design for automation” workshops and ”automation analysis” to find the best way to implement automation. You can find more information about Automation Potential Analysis (APA) here: www.ipa.fraunhofer.de/en/expertise/robot-and-assistive-systems/assembly-automation/automation-potential-analysis.html and about Design for Automation (DfA) here: www.ipa.fraunhofer.de/en/expertise/robot-and-assistive-systems/assembly-automation/automation-potential-analysis.html#faq_faqitem_236013113_co-answer

like uh printed circuit boards? 🤔

The mechanical and control systems are nothing short of astonishing, but this has a ways to go before it is commercially meaningful. Traceability data for the pull tests is certainly a means of adding value though, as is using controlled lengths of wire for each connection

Automating automation, I like it

what about labels?

Show me how this thing is going to connect a relay. Lets say, into 14 pin base with single connection NO 11/14.

I think this is not going to work smoothly with wires and cables al cobbled up together in the cable ducts. If it is, I want to see a video cause that would mean that automation is indeed possible. Or maybe somehow there's a better way to connect devices than the traditional busbars/wires/ferrule crimp contacts.

If the industrial control panel of automation machinery is assembled by a robot, people in the future would say: which one was created first? Robot or industrial automation machinery?

For a minute there I thought you’d ruined my PhD. Would you like to have the robot learn to deal with nonlinear contact forces when pulling wiring through and around obstacles?

Hi Dom. Don’t worry about your PhD, there is still so much to do. Currently, we do not involve any active policy learning scheme, here. We deal with the nonlinearity using robust and adaptive controls and parametrizable predefined strategies. However, I am very curious about your approach and would be happy if you contacted me for a chat. Best, Lorenz Halt Phone: +49 711 970-1031, E-Mail: lorenz.halt@ipa.fraunhofer.de

neuronal networks get quicker with each repetition.

You would have to be making thousands of the same cabinet to make the programming worth while. Cool video though.

Taking cad drawing with defined terminal block (xyz wpr data) and some simple scripts would "automate" the programming process. Making each wire section with ferules to the correct length would be the challenging task, but again could be automated with a separate piece of equipment. One robot arms needs a 'spool-gun' of wiring and a bench top ferule feeder/crimper.

probably even before assemblers

This is just one wire...basically a dog and pony show.

At my company they always complain about times cause i guess thats how they make their money so this would never work or at least anytime soon

This is never going to work in reality.
