Abstract

Due to rising energy cost aircraft are intended to have a lower kerosine consumption. To achieve that aircraft manufacturers increase the usage of high performance, lightweight materials like carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP). These materials pose new challenges to manufacturing processes concerning cost-effectiveness and quality requirements. The Institute of Structures and Design within the German Aerospace Center (DLR) designed a large (30m x 15m x 7m) robotic cell which is adequate to produce large airplane structures like fuselages. In this cell multiple robots share the same workspace. New methods are needed to program these robots to work cooperative on CFRP structures. The aim of these thesis is to develop path planning strategies for a CFRP process with cooperating robots using computational intelligence.
