AI Technical Summary
The installation and uninstallation of linear components, such as wires and cables, in complex apparatuses is a tedious, error-prone process that often results in spatial conflicts, damage to components, and inefficiencies due to the inability of human operators and existing apparatuses to accurately analyze and negotiate the multitude of installation factors.
A pressurized sleeve with adjustable hydrostatic pressures and sensors is used to facilitate autonomous installation/uninstallation of linear components, utilizing a system that includes controllers, 3D depth cameras, and IoT feeds to calculate and implement precise pouch pressures for routing and positioning.
The method enables efficient, damage-free, and precise installation/uninstallation of linear components by overcoming human error and mechanical limitations, ensuring accurate spatial positioning and system efficiency.
