Patent attributes
A device for verifying the connection of components by a gripper, wherein connecting two or more components produces a connection sound. The device comprises a plurality of audio sensors, a fastener for securing the plurality of audio sensors at different positions on the gripper, and a controller. The controller comprises an input for receiving the audio signals from the plurality of audio sensors, a neural network for isolating the connection sound from the audio signals received from the plurality of audio sensors using independent component analysis based on training audio data obtained from audio signals received during a plurality of training connections made in a controlled environment; and an output for indicating a desired connection status based on the isolated connection sound.
