Scope

This project deals with the design of a multifunctional collaborative robotic cell, which comprises a multifunctional end-effector and the robotic cell integration to perform assembly operations inside an aircraft fuselage.


Objectives

Using concepts from the Design for Excellence (DfX), Systems Engineering (SE) and Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE), it will go through the whole development lifecycle of a complex automated manufacturing system, rising requirements, performing functional analysis, identifying operational limits and finally generating the conceptual 3D model of the robotic cell, considering limitations from ISO-TS 15066 and ISO10218 standards and from the final assembly application.


Expected Results

The selected candidate will work on the 3D modelling with Mechanical Event Simulation (MES), until the concept verification with final prototyping of end-effectors and other cell components that will be evaluated in a real testbed.


Additional Information

Candidates should also have had some previous contact with industrial actuators and sensors, mechanisms and machine design, 3D CAD/CAE tools and virtual simulation (e.g. NX, Inventor, SolidWorks, CATIA/DELMIA, MSC ADAMS).

Note: scholarship FAPESP reference value will apply (https://fapesp.br/valores/bolsasnopais). Possible additional benefits. The scholarship holder must have a full-time dedication. The work must be carried out in person. Location: FLYMOV - ITA Innovation Center, Address: CCM, Praça Marechal Eduardo Gomes, 50 - Vila das Acacias, São José dos Campos - SP - CEP: 12228-900.
