Architectural Layers & Navigation Stacks

Layer 1: Perception & SLAM Subsystem (3D LiDAR / RealSense RGB-D / Fast-LIO2 / Cartographer): High-frequency point cloud acquisition, IMU tightly-coupled pre-integration, and sub-centimeter real-time localization in dynamic environments.
Layer 2: Local Navigation & Model Predictive Control (TEB Local Planner / Timed-Elastic Band / Pure Pursuit): Real-time obstacle evasion, non-holonomic kinematic trajectory optimization, and dynamic ISO 3691-4 safety field switching.
Layer 3: Interoperability, Middleware & Fleet Bus (VDA 5050 v2.1 / ROS 2 Jazzy / Eclipse Zenoh / CycloneDDS): Standardized JSON/MQTT order ingestion, zero-copy intra-node IPC, and deterministic low-latency state reporting across multi-vendor fleets.
Layer 4: Swarm Orchestration & Traffic Optimization (Conflict-Based Search (CBS-MAPF) / Dynamic Block Reservation): Centralized or decentralized conflict-free multi-agent path finding, automated opportunity battery charging, and bottleneck mitigation.

Telemetry & Compliance: ±5 mm (Positioning Accuracy) | <8 ms (Fleet Dispatch Latency) | <12 ms (Safety Stop Reaction) | VDA 5050 v2.1 (Open Fleet Standard)

Line Balancing & Collaborative Cobots in AssemblySwarm

Fixed conveyor assembly lines are too rigid for high-mix, low-volume modern manufacturing. AssemblySwarm replaces static lines with mobile collaborative cobot cells that dynamically reconfigure workstations and balance workloads in real time.

Core Engineering Areas

Dynamic Line Balancing and Workstation Buffer Optimization — Real-time production scheduling algorithms redistributing assembly tasks across robotic cells to eliminate manufacturing bottlenecks.
ISO/TS 15066 Human-Robot Collaborative Safety — Safety architectures compliant with ISO/TS 15066 and ISO 10218, enabling fenceless human-robot collaboration in production environments.
Modular Fixtureless Assembly and Cooperative Fixturing — Eliminating expensive custom metal jigs by utilizing synchronized robots to clamp, hold, and weld workpieces simultaneously.
