2023 Departmental Poster Competition

Particle detectors in large-scale high-energy physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, have become increasingly complex.  We studied the use of robotics in
the construction of these types of detectors and the integration of machine learning techniques 
to support future construction demands. We developed custom electronics and algorithms to control a high-precision robotic gantry often used in the construction of these detectors. We also implemented a machine learning algorithm to automate the quality control of detector construction process on the same gantry. This poster presents the R&D details of this project.
