Kinematics-Grounded Agentic AI for Robotic Additive Manufacturing Process Planning
Jingzhan Ge, Ruimin Chen, Azadeh Haghighi +2
Robotic additive manufacturing (AM) extends material-extrusion printing beyond gantry kinematics but makes process planning robot-dependent. A slicer-generated plan that appears fa…
How Should a Robot Configure Its Laser Scanner for Inspection?
Zhiling Chen, David Gorsich, Matthew P. Castanier +3
Robotic inspection relies on accurate sensing to acquire high-fidelity geometric measurements for defect detection and metrology. While prior work has focused on robot motion and v…
Physics-Grounded Multi-Agent Architecture for Traceable, Risk-Aware Human-AI Decision Support in Manufacturing
Danny Hoang, Ryan Matthiessen, Christopher Miller +5
High-precision CNC machining of free-form aerospace components requires bounded compensations informed by inspection, simulation, and process knowledge. Off-the-shelf large languag…
Task-Aware Scanning Parameter Configuration for Robotic Inspection Using Vision Language Embeddings and Hyperdimensional Computing
Zhiling Chen, David Gorsich, Matthew P. Castanier +3
Robotic laser profiling is widely used for dimensional verification and surface inspection, yet measurement fidelity is often dominated by sensor configuration rather than robot mo…
Seeing the Unseen: Towards Training-Free Inspection for Wind Turbine Blades Using Knowledge-Augmented Vision Language Models
Yang Zhang, Qianyu Zhou, Farhad Imani +1
Wind turbine blades operate in harsh environments, making timely damage detection essential for preventing failures and optimizing maintenance. Drone-based inspection and deep lear…
Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Federated Learning via Explainable Adaptive Differential Privacy
Fardin Jalil Piran, Zhiling Chen, Yang Zhang +3
Decentralized federated learning enables collaborative model training without a central server, but shared model updates can still leak sensitive information through inversion, rec…
ScanBot: A Benchmark for Precision Robotic Surface Scanning with Industrial Laser Profilers
Zhiling Chen, Yang Zhang, Fardin Jalil Piran +3
We introduce ScanBot, a benchmark for instruction-conditioned, high-precision surface scanning with robot-mounted industrial laser profilers. Unlike existing robot learning dataset…
Towards Intelligent Cooperative Robotics in Additive Manufacturing: Past, Present and Future
Sean Rescsanski, Rainer Hebert, Azadeh Haghighi +2
