==ROBOT AND AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE COMBINATION FOR ALUMINUM FURNACE OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042618 titled 'ROBOT AND AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE COMBINATION FOR ALUMINUM FURNACE OPERATIONS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a displaceable robot that can perform operations near a high-temperature furnace containing molten metal. The robot is designed to be displaceable using a vehicle and includes a frame with a ground interface for contact with the ground surface. The frame also has a clearance for engaging with the vehicle to move the robot around the furnace. The robot has an arm with an end effector for mounting a tool, a sensor for collecting data from the robot's surroundings, and a controller that uses the collected data to control the movement of the arm.

* The robot is designed to perform operations near a high-temperature furnace containing molten metal.
* It can be displaced using a vehicle, allowing for easy movement around the furnace.
* The frame of the robot has a ground interface for contact with the ground surface and a clearance for engaging with the vehicle.
* The arm of the robot has an end effector that can mount a tool for performing operations.
* The robot is equipped with a sensor that collects data from the robot's surroundings, including exteroceptive data from the vicinity and proprioceptive data from the robot itself.
* The collected data is sent to a controller, which uses it to control the movement of at least the arm.

Potential Applications:
* This technology can be used in industrial settings where operations need to be performed near high-temperature furnaces containing molten metal.
* It can be used for tasks such as maintenance, inspection, and repair of equipment in these environments.

Problems Solved:
* The robot allows for operations to be performed near high-temperature furnaces without exposing humans to the hazardous conditions.
* It can navigate the challenging terrain around the furnace and reach areas that may be difficult for humans to access.

Benefits:
* Increased safety by reducing the need for human presence near high-temperature furnaces.
* Improved efficiency and productivity in performing operations in challenging environments.
* Potential cost savings by minimizing the risk of accidents and damage to equipment.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a displaceable robot for performing operations using a tool near a high temperature furnace containing molten metal, wherein the robot is displaceable using a vehicle. the robot comprising: a frame having a ground interface for coming into contact with a ground surface while defining a clearance under a portion of the frame for engaging with the vehicle to displace the robot about the furnace when the ground interface is off the ground; an arm mounted to the frame, the arm comprising an end effector which is adapted for mounting the tool; a sensor for collecting at least one of exteroceptive data in a vicinity of the robot and proprioceptive data from the robot; and a controller receiving the collected data from the sensor and controlling a movement of at least the arm based on the collected data.
