THE PROJECT

Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) automation for Earthwise Packaging injection molding facility

Quantitative information and factory limitations
- - Boxes are all 18” x 18” x 21”
  - Maximum robot height 6” overall height 17” by 17” platform size.
  - 35 to 160 fixed machine production points (MPP) — injection molding machines that will scale over time
  - 1 static box erector point (BEP) to supply an unlimited amount of empty boxes.
  - The Finished Production Points will be dynamic (DEP)
  - In-house machine shop to produce all non standard robot parts including metals and plastics
  - Factory footprint: 100 feet by 300 feet long

HAND CALCULATIONS & CONCEPT DRAWINGS

Drawings & concepts for general robot layout as well as 2-box workflow (left); top plate shape and dimensions dimensions (middle); side view of prototype design and COG analysis (right)

Hand calculations (bottom): Motor power specification based on robot mass and battery capacity requirements based on robot mass + prototype runtime + motor voltage

Hand calculations (top right): Center of mass analysis to figure out top plate and full box positioning relative to center of mass of robot assembly
