Real time defect detection during composite layup via Tactile Shape Sensing

Real time defect detection during composite layup via Tactile Shape Sensing

In this study an automated composite layup end effector is presented which is the first to be able to find defects in real time during layup using tactile shape sensing. Based around an existing sensor concept developed by the Bristol Robot Laboratory known as the ‘TacTip’, a new end effector is dev...
