Abstract

As a part of the first-stage of Ricaip teaming project, a small demonstration testbed was built at CEITEC institute in cooperation with Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication, Brno University of Technology. It contains both additive and subtractive machinery technologies – 3D SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printer, and 3DOF CNC milling machine. Material and product movement is provided by means of standard and collaborative industrial manipulators, as well as omnidirectional mobile robot with Mecanum-type wheels. The control system is designed to be easy-to-extend and to be able to cooperate with other testbeds, as was demonstrated by cooperation with Czech Technical University in Prague.

Overall description of the testbed is provided in the paper, as well as its possibilities and main technical challenges.
