Robotic assisted tool and die making systems and methods

A system for automating a die fabrication process, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a nontransitory computer-readable medium including instructions that are executable by the processor, wherein the instructions include:
• obtaining die sensor data from one or more die sensors and image data from one or more image sensors;
• generating a command to perform one or more machining tool operations based on the die sensor data and the image data;
• controlling a machining tool to perform the one or more machining tool operations;
• selectively adjusting a position of a robotic arm based on the one or more machining tool operations;
• and
• training an artificial intelligence system to autonomously perform the die fabrication process based on the one or more machining tool operations, the position of the robotic arm, the image data, the die sensor data, or a combination thereof, wherein the artificial intelligence system is one of a reinforcement learning network and a convolutional neural network.

A method for automating a die fabrication process, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by one or more controllers, die sensor data from one or more die sensors and image data from one or more image sensors;

• controlling, by the one or more controllers, a machining tool to perform the one or more machining tool operations;
• selectively adjusting, by the one or more controllers, a position of a robotic arm based on the one or more machining tool operations;
• and
• training, by the one or more controllers, an artificial intelligence system to autonomously perform the die fabrication process based on the one or more machining tool operations, the position of the robotic arm, the image data, the die sensor data, or a combination thereof, wherein the artificial intelligence system is one of a reinforcement learning network and a convolutional neural network.
