Application: Robotic cells (Patent ID: US20240198512A1)
The patent filed by BAE Systems Plc describes a robot cell with a floor that has an array of nodes corresponding to a two-dimensional coordinate system. The cell is designed to receive a workpiece and includes robots, detectors, and a controller. The robots are positioned based on the array of nodes, detectors detect robot locations using targets on the floor, and the controller controls robot movement based on the detected locations.
The claims associated with the patent detail various aspects of the robot cell, including the releasable attachment of robot bases to the floor, the presence of electrical and communication outlets on the floor, and the use of sensors to sense robot poses. The patent also covers the use of detectors like cameras or RFID readers, coordination of robot movement within the cell, and safety systems to ensure human operator safety. Additionally, a method for controlling the robot cell involves detecting robot locations using detectors and targets on the floor and controlling robot movement based on these detected locations through the controller.
