Thermal spraying robot kinematics and laser pattern control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal spraying surface engineering industry relies on manual spraying and standard pre-programmed robotic systems. This research presents the completed geometric forward and inverse kinematics solution for a non standard articulated robotic manipulator which includes continuous 360 axis rotation for waist, shoulder and elbow joints with a commercially available joint for tilt and pitch. The research also details the use of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) electroless nickel slip rings and brushes for providing delivery of power and data through the continuous rotation joints. The automatic analysis of distance and orientation measurement via a pattern producing laser and camera system is being researched for suitability in the thermal spraying process for automatic feedback and control of the robotic arm manipulator. The competed technical and simulation design will provide for the automatic application of advanced surface coatings to enhance wear, low friction and corrosion resistance properties to substrates via a thermal spraying process. 1 THERMAL SPRAYING SURFACE COATING

متن کاملEstimation and Calibration of Robot Link Parameters with Intelligent Techniques
Abstract: Using robot manipulators for high accuracy applications require precise value of the kinematics parameters. Since measurement of kinematics parameters are usually associated with errors and accurate measurement of them is an expensive task, automatic calibration of robot link parameters makes the task of kinematics parameters determination much easier. In this paper a simple and easy ...

This paper presents simulation and experimental results of position-based visual servoing control process of a 6R robot using 2 fixed cameras. This method has the ability to deal with real time changes in the relative position of the target-object with respect to robot. Also, greater accuracy and independency of servo control structure from the target pose coordinates are the additional advanta...

متن کاملDynamics, Stability Analysis and Control of a Mammal-Like Octopod Robot Driven by Different Central Pattern Generators
In this paper, we studied numerically both kinematic and dynamic models of a biologically inspired mammal-like octopod robot walking with a tetrapod gait. Three different nonlinear oscillators were used to drive the robot’s legs working as central pattern generators. In addition, also a new, relatively simple and efficient model was proposed and investigated. The introduced model of the gait ge...
