Cooperative 2-DOF robots for precision assembly

چکیده
A new con guration of cooperative 2-DOF robots is presented for use in precision assembly applications. This con guration consists of direct drive planar linear motors traveling on a tabletop platen stator surface combined with overhead 2-DOF manipulators. We outline desirable features of a precision assembly system and use them to compare the proposed con guration to typical con gurations that use 4-DOF robots. Advantages of the new approach are used to motivate further research needed to fully develop precision assembly systems based on this concept.

Force-Based Interaction for Distributed Precision Assembly
This thesis documents the efforts to incorporate force sensing into the minifactory environment. The minifactory is a high-precision assembly system that makes use of low DOF robots to cooperatively perform higher DOF tasks. Minifactory targets the assembly of small mechatronic devices, many of which require high tolerance vertical insertion tasks. Force sensing provides a means for instantiati...
متن کاملAn Adaptive-Robust Control Approach for Trajectory Tracking of two 5 DOF Cooperating Robot Manipulators Moving a Rigid Payload
In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...

The need for high precision robotic systems has increased in recent years. Examples include automated assembly of complex electro-mechanical products such as disk drives, cameras, and medical devices. In this paper we present an optical sensor which can sense motion with better than 0.15 m resolution while also o ering the advantages of insusceptibility to ambient lights, high bandwidth, and a ...
متن کاملA New Intelligent Approach to Patient-cooperative Control of Rehabilitation Robots
This paper presents a new intelligent method to control rehabilitation robots by mainly considering reactions of patient instead of doing a repetitive preprogrammed movement. It generates a general reference trajectory based on different reactions of patient during therapy. Three main reactions has been identified and included in reference trajectory: small variations, force shocks in a single ...
متن کاملInverse Kinematics Resolution of Redundant Cooperative Manipulators Using Optimal Control Theory
The optimal path planning of cooperative manipulators is studied in the present research. Optimal Control Theory is employed to calculate the optimal path of each joint choosing an appropriate index of the system to be minimized and taking the kinematics equations as the constraints. The formulation has been derived using Pontryagin Minimum Principle and results in a Two Point Boundary Value Pr...
