Additive manufacturing (AM) is a very promising technique for rapid, low-cost production of aircraft parts directly from a CAD file. AM is especially appealing for complex parts that would be costly or impossible to fabricate by machining or casting. At the current time there are no reliable, cost-effective techniques to qualify the finished parts. Several government studies have noted this gap an ...

Robotic Research, LLC (RR) and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) are creating a prototype Learning-based Approach for Relevant Data Extraction (LARDE). The LARDE framework is a data extraction and handling framework that can intelligently reduce the volume of raw data from on-board sensors, and organize and persistently store the reduced relevant dataset.

Reconstruction of dynamic scenes is at the limits of the state of the art. It is still challenging to accurately reconstruct models in static scenes. Dynamic scenes add a list of challenges that further complicate the problem:separating the dynamic objects from the motion created by the camera motionMorphological changes to the dynamic object itself. Not only is the system moving, but it is actual ...
