Tactile Nosepiece Assembly

Many of Airbus Robotics' robots use nose pieces on drilling end effectors to normalize to the surface of a panel. This approach may be more robust and less expensive than their existing technology. This student team worked to build a functioning prototype of the device. This student team also worked to collect and assess data on the performance of a nose piece relative to a flat plate (Aluminum plate is okay) and to conduct research on technology necessary to improve the performance of the device -> resolution and range. This student team also sought to simulate the integration of the technology onto a drilling robotic end effector platform (Airbus Robotics provided details for the end effector).
