Automated liquid adhesive dispensing using linear modeling and optimization

In one embodiment, a method includes dispensing, by a robot within a manufacturing environment, one or more linear beads of a liquid adhesive representing a target complex dispensing path onto a surface of a substrate using at least one process parameter, the linear beads extending along a longitudinal axis and based on the at least one process parameter, having a bead shape transverse to the longitudinal axis; and measuring, by a measuring device positioned within the manufacturing environment, at least one characteristic of the shape of the bead at a plurality of discrete locations along the longitudinal axis of the linear bead via a one-dimensional scan. 一种方法包括由制造环境内的机器人使用至少一个过程参数，将代表目标复杂分配路径的液体粘合剂的一个或多个线性珠粒分配到基底的表面上，线性珠粒沿着纵向轴线延伸并且基于至少一个过程参数，具有横向于纵向轴线的珠粒形状；以及由定位在制造环境内的测量设备，经由一维扫描，在沿着线性珠粒的纵向轴线的多个离散位置处，测量珠粒形状的至少一个特征。
