software testing robotic automation software automation accounting robotics paintingThe goal of this project is to create automation prototypes for Acrylic Robotics' robotic painting system. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Analyzing Acrylic Robotics' existing data and painting systems.
- Developing a robotic automation software.
- Optimizing software runtime performance and assessing areas for improvement.
- Researching other variables that can improve the quality of robotic painting.
- Accounting for additional variables in the automation software.
- Testing the developed software and making improvements based on additional data.
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of Acrylic Robotics' existing data and painting systems.
- Understanding of variables that affect the quality of robotic painting.
- Identification of areas for future improvement of the software.
Bonus steps would include:
- Testing the developed software with users and accounting for additional parameters.
Final deliverables should include:
- All source code.
- A written report explaining the design process and outcomes.
