The companies identified a use case focused on
a typical robotics work cell used in any aerospace factory to test how Xaba’s xCognition ‘synthetic brain’ could empower a commercial robot with greater intelligence and understanding of its body and the task it is about to execute, while ensuring required quality and tolerances are achieved.
The test consisted of two phases:
1: Assessing the robot’s performance in maintaining accurate and consistent trajectory positioning with and without Xaba’s xCognition.
2: Performing a set of drilling tests on an aluminium test plate with specified positional tolerances. Based on the data collected, Xaba’s xCognition
improved accuracy and consistency of the commercial robot by a factor of 10X. This test shows how industrial robotics augmented with xCognition can perform crucial manufacturing operations that until now have been exclusively done by more expensive and less flexible CNC machines. “The accuracy performance of a robotic system
limits the type of process it can perform based on the cost efficiency of the accuracy hardware,” said Matthew Galla, applications engineer staff for Lockheed Martin’s Aeronautics business. “The test with the xCognition controller allows us to rethink how we can accelerate innovation in manufacturing.” Massimiliano Moruzzi, CEO of Xaba, added: “Our xCognition AI-driven control system opens a new world of application opportunities for industrial robots and cobots. It positions Xaba at the centre of intelligent automation for sustainable manufacturing.”
Hexagon is building integrations from
its HxDR reality-capture and Nexus manufacturing platforms to NVIDIA Omniverse, an open platform for developing and operating industrial metaverse applications via Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD)
plug-ins. The connected platforms, powered by NVIDIA AI technologies, will provide benefits across Hexagon’s major ecosystems, including agriculture, autonomous mobility, buildings, cities, defence, infrastructure, manufacturing and mining. Together, these solutions deliver seamless, collaborative planning
through a unified view, so industrial customers can better optimise workflows and improve efficiencies at scale. Professionals and developers will be able to use advanced capabilities in reality capture, digital twins, AI, simulation and visualisation to enhance the most complex graphics workflows – from virtual prototyping to digital factories.
