Node Introduction Video:
Objectives/Deliverables
- Review and identify sources of fibre (timber waste/byproducts, recycled timber, under-utilised timber resources).
- Design and development of flexible and adaptive robotic manufacturing processes from variable timber fibre feedstocks (automated or human-in-the-loop).
- Vision based defect detection and automatic processing with live fibre feedstocks, allowing realtime material processing that reduce storage and handling.
- Adaptive product design that utilize variable processed feedstock.
- Evaluation of recovery material value and sustainability metrics for possible applications, stakeholder communication.
