We have created an autonomous, biomimetic robotic fish that closely follows both the shape and motion of real animals. We hope to investigate the efficiency of this motion in order to create underwater robot swarms which require less power to operate and can be both cheaper and simpler to produce.
The Rockwell Automation SCOPE team worked to provide an out-of-box quality control sensor for automation applications. Quality control sensors need to provide fast inspection capabilities for factories to ensure continuous quality of products. The team also looked into business opportunities for the sensor in line with Rockwell Automation’s industrial customer base. The team optimized the current sensor and made improvements. They also explored market segments where the sensor could make a significant impact on a factory’s quality control and automation processes.
