Project B05

Model-based path planning and control

In B05, the knowledge gained from the other subprojects will be integrated into a reliable manufacturing process. In robot-assisted manufacturing processes for Laser Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED) and for the WAAM process (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing), solutions for adaptive, model-based path planning are examined and control concepts are designed. In addition to comparing and adapting various path planning algorithms, the research focuses, among other things, on extensive parameter studies.
The challenge of the project is to take into account various aspects such as the time- and location-dependent temperature curve, dependencies on parameters such as material flow, application speed or the power supplied as well as sensor data and to convert them into a stable process. The aim is to not only react to deviations in the properties of the real object or process from the model. Rather, the goal is to produce a component that corresponds to the desired properties such as local porosity by actively adapting the process parameters.
