Prototyping/Manufacturing Parts Differences
Delivered October 31, 2019. Contributor: ChristineD
Goals
Determine the differences between prototyping or manufacturing robotics products versus consumer products. The information will be used to expand a consumer products prototyping platform into the robotics parts space.
Early Findings
Protyping/Manufacturing: Robotic Products Overview
- Robotics prototyping involves addressing system complexities associated with intricate robotic designs.
- When prototyping robotic parts, it is recommended to avoid continuously optimizing the costs for every part as this can prolong the completion of the products.
- It is recommended to integrate a reconfigurable I/O into the system to truly demonstrate functionality.
- Robotic prototypes also need parts that can be designed for reuse to allow for fast transition to subsequent models based on continuous feedback.
