General HAMMER
With the acronym HAMMER, this Engineering Research Center is led by The Ohio State University
What is Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution?
The process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time, often referred to as 3D printing.
What is additive manufacturing?
There are four of these in HAMMER: Design; Tools & Process Convergence; Materials State Awareness; and Control/Intelligence/Autonomy.
What are the thrusts of HAMMER?
This is a platform for conducting rigorous and replicable testing of scientific theories, computing tools, and new technologies.
What is a testbed?
This is the number of rotary axes present in the six degrees of freedom.
CWRU, NCAT, NU, OSU, UTK
What are the universities that make up HAMMER?
This 18th century event began the rise of manufacturing when agricultural societies became more industrialized and urban.
What is the Industrial Revolution?
In this thrust, teams are developing digital twin designs for better modeling and control of manufacturing processes.
What is Thrust 1/Design?
This testbed combines multiple processes (such as additive manufacturing and forging) to create new hybrid processing methods.
What is Testbed 4/Additive manufacturing + X?
This HAMMER Thrust deals directly with Autonomy.
What is Thrust 4 – Controls, Intelligence and Autonomy?
Glenn Daehn, John Lewandowski, Jag Sankar, Jian Cao, and Tony Schmitz
Who are the principal investigators of HAMMER?
This country is the world’s second largest manufacturer.
What is the United States of America?
Dr. Kornel Ehmann’s team in Thrust 2 is working to automate this metalworking tool: [Image].
What is the English wheel?
This testbed is an acronym for Physical Exploration and Training Factory/Artisan Boxes, which are manufacturing cells that incorporate robots, sensing, and computation modules
What is Testbed 1/PET-FABs?
For autonomous vehicles and drones, it is path correction/steering based on GPS, LiDAR sensors etc. For quality inspection, it is used in defect and deviation detection from nominal to accept or reject components using optical, laser measurements etc.

What is a closed-loop feedback control system?
30
What is the number of HAMMER publications?
The process of reducing the number of defects is typically known in manufacturing by the letters QC.
What is quality control?
This thrust develops material modeling capabilities, calculates expected values and uncertainty in material properties
What is Thrust 3/Materials State Awareness?
This testbed uses English wheels and local stretchers to deform 3D structures and modify local material properties.
What is Testbed 3/Numerical Forming?
This type of robot are power limited machines with collision detection systems and force feedback sensors to safely work alongside humans, which are different from traditional industrial robots that are large, powerful, and typically inside a cage tasked for heavy loads and dangerous environments.
What are collaborative robots (cobots)?
Convergent research, education and workforce development, innovation ecosystem, diversity and culture of inclusion
What are the 4 pillars of HAMMER?
The making of articles on a large scale using machinery; industrial production.
What is Manufacturing?
In Thrust 4 (Control, Intelligence, and Autonomy), Dr. John Lewandowski’s team is building the Low Cost Wire Arc Additive Manufacturer (LC-WAAMer), nicknamed after this iconic hip-hop star.
Who is M.C. Hammer?
In Testbed 2 (Point-Of-Care Manufacturing), what type of personalized medical devices are being manufactured?
What are bone implants or skeletal fixation plates?
This is the general idea of the first law of robotics, according to Isaac Asimov.
What is "a robot may not injure a human being"?
