Standards for Metrology Assisted Robot Technology (SMART)

During this project, the team created and evaluated novel approaches to improving the task performance of an IR with metrology feedback or Metrology Assisted Robot (MAR). The team included two facilities located on the campuses of Missouri Science and Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology (Figure 1). Evaluating the performance of each system with a common approach was critical in determining the best achievable geometric accuracy. Therefore, the team created an expanded document consisting of specific testing methods and nomenclature for a MAR system using existing robotic testing standards.
