چکیده
The PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly, or Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm) is an industrial robot arm developed at a pioneering robot company Unimation. Application engineering, design experience, and enhanced manufacturing techniques have resulted in a powerful robot line with long reach and heavier payload capabilities. The advanced design and flexibility of the robots offer new opportunities for productivity and quality improvement in a wide range of manufacturing operations. This paper briefly describes the applications, specifications, and technology of the state of the art Unimation 700 PUMA robot.

Optimal balancing of PUMA-Like robot in predefined path
The balancing of the manipulators is an important subject in the different industries, because with the balancing of manipulators, their consumed energy is reduced and it leads to actuators' size reduction. But the relation between of balancing and energy consumption was unclear until the optimal balancing method became introduced. On the other hand, Different tasks for instance, welding and gl...
متن کاملRemoving the Singularities of Serial Manipulators by Transforming the Workspace
A new method of handling the kinematic singularities of serial robotic manipulators is proposed. The idea is to transform the manipulator’s workspace W into a desingularized workspace W . Robotic motions can then be planned anywhere inW , subject to limits on spatial velocity and acceleration, and the resulting joint velocities and accelerations will be well-behaved and bounded. W differs from ...
متن کاملQRobot – A Multitasking PC Based Robot Control System
In this paper, we describe QRobot, a low level real-time PC-based system for controlling PUMA robot manipulators. Specifically, we illustrate how a standard PUMA controller can be retrofitted with interface boards that allow it to be connected to an industry standard PC. All computational units are removed from the existing PUMA controller, and the PC assumes the role of computing the control s...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Impedance Controller for Robot Manipulators
A desired dynamic behavior of constrained manipulators can be achieved by means of impedance control and various implementations of fixed controllers have been proposed. In this paper, and adaptive implementation is presented as an alternative to reduce the design sensitivity due to manipulator mismatch. The adaptive controller globally achieves the impedance objective for the nonlinear dynamic...
متن کاملOptimal discrete-time control of robot manipulators in repetitive tasks
Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...
