1. 0:03That was marvelous. And [music] can you
2. 0:05really believe that the whole design was
3. 0:08from AI?
4. 0:30>> [music]
5. 0:47[music]
6. 1:00[music]
7. 1:05>> That was marvelous. And can you really
8. 1:07believe that the whole design was from
9. 1:11AI?
10. 1:13>> [music]
11. 1:14>> Hello friends. I'm Prashant Pandya and I
12. 1:16recently worked on CNC automation
13. 1:18project. And that experience forced me
14. 1:20to ask one of the core questions of the
15. 1:22industry. The inner designer asked a
16. 1:24question that can I design it?
17. 1:27And then one more enthusiastic question
18. 1:29emerged [music]
19. 1:30that can AI design this? I decided to
20. 1:33take on this challenge [music] and
21. 1:35design a
22. 1:37I decided to take on this challenge and
23. 1:39design a 6-degree of freedom articulated
24. 1:41arm with [music] AI as assistant and I'm
25. 1:45going to show you the results now.
26. 1:47>> [music]
27. 1:49>> How much time did AI take to design this
28. 1:52level of machine? Definitely it took me
29. 1:543 days to get AI to do this. It It a
30. 1:57constant communication task. [music]
31. 2:00I'll show you
32. 2:02the brief.
33. 2:04These are the cycloidal boxes and you
34. 2:07can see it has the profile of it. All
35. 2:11the joints have cycloidal gearboxes.
36. 2:14>> [music]
37. 2:14>> And you can see how they are mount, the
38. 2:17sizes of the bolts, the number of bolts,
39. 2:20the pitch it decided. It also make sure
40. 2:23that the outer ring has
41. 2:26dowel positions, has references for
42. 2:29[music] and attachments manufactured in
43. 2:32such way.
44. 2:33With this section, it is visible that
45. 2:35the motor shaft, the
46. 2:38timing pulleys on that.
47. 2:40The belt arrangement, the bigger timing
48. 2:43pulleys,
49. 2:43>> [music]
50. 2:44>> the center part where cycloidal gearbox
51. 2:47is mounted. The needle bearings used
52. 2:50over here.
53. 2:51It's a double cycloidal gearbox
54. 2:53>> [music]
55. 2:53>> designed to reduce the vibration. The
56. 2:56intermediate part, the clamping parts of
57. 2:59it. These are the threads.
58. 3:01The clearance hole that
59. 3:04>> [music]
60. 3:04>> that
61. 3:06All such minor details were captured in
62. 3:10this design. How many parts were there
63. 3:12in the design?
64. 3:13>> [music]
65. 3:13>> There are 305 parts, 1,300 physical
66. 3:17expenses, [music]
67. 3:19meaning that there are 1,300 plus parts
68. 3:22in this particular
69. 3:24design. You can see [music] it has shown
70. 3:26us the pivot points.
71. 3:29It is showing us the threads. It is
72. 3:31showing us the details that are required
73. 3:34to design [music] such level of machine.
74. 3:39Many different questions
75. 3:40>> [music]
76. 3:40>> over the period of time. Let me show you
77. 3:43the question. Use your own knowledge and
78. 3:46do the research online
79. 3:48>> [music]
80. 3:48>> to find maximum data available on 6
81. 3:51degree of freedom articulated arm.
82. 3:53Then it started revolving around those
83. 3:56data. [music] It got data in by in
84. 3:58itself. Then it asked me that what is
85. 4:01the reference [music] that I would like
86. 4:02to have in my mind.
87. 4:05We used in our project Fanuc M-10iD
88. 4:08model.
89. 4:10With that model and the load [music]
90. 4:12that it requires, it confirmed that how
91. 4:15many cycles that I am going to check the
92. 4:18machine for.
93. 4:19>> [music]
94. 4:20>> It also told me that how many cycles am
95. 4:22I targeting for the performance point of
96. 4:25view. [music] It asked me what kind of
97. 4:27motors I am going I am thinking of
98. 4:29using. It asked me about the [music] mix
99. 4:31and finally it designed this particular
100. 4:34machine and
101. 4:36it is [music] such beautifully detailed.
102. 4:39Also,
103. 4:42now the most important part.
104. 4:44>> [music]
105. 4:45>> Is this really something that will work?
106. 4:48The whole machine
107. 4:50got
108. 4:51dynamically simulated with equations by
109. 4:54[music] AI. I asked AI to prepare a
110. 4:57report on what is
111. 5:00the reason
112. 5:01>> [music]
113. 5:01>> it came to choose these ratios, it came
114. 5:05to do these motors, why it did [music]
115. 5:08each and every calculations and in what
116. 5:12manner. Let [music] me show you the
117. 5:14details it did. It is showing us the
118. 5:16evidences, the cycle time it asked me.
119. 5:19It is [music] showing us that it's a 12
120. 5:21kg capacity robot
121. 5:24>> [music]
122. 5:25>> with center of gravity 50 mm x here. The
123. 5:27kinematic tests were done. The
124. 5:29transmission ratios with the efficiency
125. 5:32is also included in the calculation. The
126. 5:35profile is a quintic profile with
127. 5:37[music] the following this equation,
128. 5:39meaning that the torque
129. 5:41is not going to be having a triangle or
130. 5:44a trapezoidal curve only. It is going to
131. 5:46have a smooth motion and the maximum
132. 5:48torque happens to fall in that
133. 5:50particular [music] part. It gave us that
134. 5:53the whole system is going to be around
135. 5:55400 kg. The [music] its capacity is
136. 5:58around 12 kg.
137. 6:00It gave us the
138. 6:02inertia details. It [music] gave us a
139. 6:04numeric sampling output.
140. 6:06Now, that is something where we are
141. 6:09using this particular mathematical model
142. 6:12and running it over a particular period
143. 6:14[music] of time to check what kind of
144. 6:17forces or what kind of kinematic [music]
145. 6:19equations we are looking at.
146. 6:22So, it did 500 samples for this.
147. 6:25It's [music] just simply wow. It is
148. 6:28summarizing all the joints.
149. 6:30It's RMS Newton-meter torque values, the
150. 6:33ratios [music]
151. 6:34it decided to go on.
152. 6:37What kind of life expectancy for this
153. 6:39robot?
154. 6:41The life cycle is around 20,000 [music]
155. 6:43operating hours. All the static loads,
156. 6:46even the dynamic loads are calculated.
157. 7:01>> [music]
158. 7:09[music]
159. 7:23[music]
160. 7:31>> Is this the perfect design?
161. 7:34>> [music]
162. 7:35>> This is a great starting point for any
163. 7:37designer. And yes, [music]
164. 7:39in these 3 days, I had constant
165. 7:42communication with AI on what to design,
166. 7:45what could be the constraint, and we
167. 7:47[music] achieved this.
168. 7:49Definitely, the optimization is
169. 7:51something that is always possible. This
170. 7:53is [music] just fantastic. I'm very,
171. 7:55very happy with the output.
172. 7:58And I'm targeting the cost reduction to
173. 8:00about 50% of existing robot. But can you
174. 8:04design a robot for custom reach? Yes,
175. 8:08you can design your robot for custom
176. 8:10reach and payload requirement. Contact
