Students from Delft invent a robot that places deck mounts for solar panels on ships autonomously
The robot is for any company that would like solar panels on the deck of their ship!
The robot can be placed on a ship deck, where it will autonomously place the mounts for the solar panel. This includes: sanding and degreasing the area of the deck where the glue is applied and applying glue.
The solution is a robot that drives over the deck of the ship, navigating its own way over the ship. The robot does not need interference, during its work, which means the worker can go of to do another task!
This proof of concept shows what the possibilities are for automating this step of producing.
