Versatile Robotic Workstation for Electronic Skin - Problems and Solutions

Abstract In the face of Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), collaborative robots have become one key pillars development. Thanks to their sensors, they allow increased flexibility and safety while working in a shared space with humans. One such sensor is electronic skin (e-skin), which enhances human-robot collaboration through physical contact. This paper presents developed versatile robotic workstation that allows, among other things, calibration e-skin touch measurements. particular, problems encountered use standard industrial robot are presented ways solve them discussed. The approach allows automatic acquisition measurements sensors within reach robot.
