Section 27 of 50
23. Design for Robotic Manufacturing and Assembly
Stable section ID: S05-CON-012-SECTION-27 · 31 content blocks
System05 products shall be designed to support future robotic manufacturing and assembly without requiring immediate dependence on fully autonomous construction.
Robot-compatible design should provide:
- Predictable component identity.
- known mass and center of gravity.
- grasping features.
- lifting points.
- approach corridors.
- coordinate references.
- alignment geometry.
- insertion guidance.
- force limits.
- tool-clearance zones.
- machine-readable state.
- recoverable failure behavior.
- Robotic features shall remain compatible with human handling and inspection wherever practical.
Parts should avoid unstable resting orientations, ambiguous symmetry, uncontrolled flexibility, highly reflective sensing surfaces, fragile grasp zones, and inaccessible engagement locations unless justified.
Robot-facing definitions shall identify:
- Permitted grasp regions.
- prohibited contact regions.
- payload requirements.
- orientation constraints.
- allowable contact forces.
- acceptable positional uncertainty.
- assembly trajectory.
- expected resistance.
- stop conditions.
- recovery procedures.
Design shall use passive mechanical guidance, compliance, tapered lead-ins, capture features, and self-alignment where these reduce required robotic precision without compromising function.
Robotic manufacturability shall consider fixturing, automatic tool change, program verification, sensor visibility, chip and dust control, and safe removal of completed parts.
No robotic workflow shall rely solely on commanded position to establish physical completion. Consequential operations shall verify the resulting physical state.
Robot readiness shall be treated as a product capability with declared limits. A component designed for one robot, gripper, or task shall not be represented as universally robot-compatible.
