![]() The major goal for all projects was to provide automation that could work adaptively on manufacturing tasks that require skilled workers to achieve high quality output, often in difficult, dangerous and dirty conditions, especially where repetitive and adaptive activity was required. ![]() ![]() 50 TRL 1-3 projects were completed, including automated visual inspection, intelligent metrology, automated adaptive TIG Welding, agile automated flexible and adaptive panel forming, and automated and adaptive threaded fastener assembly. The TRL 1-3 work carried out by the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Intelligent Automation between 2011-17 set the benchmark for industry driven research activity, with progression from TRL 3 to TRL 6 via the HVM Catapult, specifically via The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).ĭuring that time, the EPSRC Centre had 10 RAs and 30 PhD students supervised by 6 academic staff, including the Centre Director, Professor Mike Jackson. ![]()
