Remote operations - shadow robots (stage 2, part b)

AMPC partnered with Mimeo Industrial to develop a proof-of-concept shadow robotic system using bandsaw meat cutting as a use scenario, where the robot is controlled by a remote operator. This project was a continuation of remote operations – shadow robots stage 1. 

Mimeo developed this concept utilising an industrial robot with a bespoke vision-tracking control system to guide robot movements simulating bandsaw cutting operations. 3D-control of the robot was implemented using fiducial markers and demonstrated full 3D motion capability allowing complex angular cuts to be made and enabling concepts for further processing tasks utilising shadow robotics to be investigated.
