... of the developed procedure. Originality/value For the first time, the optimal parameters of a flexible link robot for object launching are found in the current research. In addition, the actuator saturation limits are considered which enhances the applicability of the suggested method in the real world...

...Binghai Zhou; Qiong Wu Purpose The extensive applications of the industrial robots have made the optimization of assembly lines more complicated. The purpose of this paper is to develop a balancing method of both workstation time and station area to improve the efficiency and productivity...

... of indoor robot localization. Design/methodology/approach The cloud-based IMCLROE is constructed with a cloud–client architecture that distributes computation between servers and a client robot. The system operates in two phases: in the offline phase, two maps are built under the MapReduce framework...

...S.P. Sharma; N. Sukavanam; Naveen Kumar; Ajay Kumar Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate various reliability parameters of a multi‐robot system, arranged in a complex configuration. The effects of failures and course of action on the system performance have also been investigated...

...O. Altuzarra; O. Salgado; V. Petuya; A. Hernández Purpose This paper aims to provide tools for the complete Jacobian analysis of robotic manipulators of general topology, using a comprehensive velocity equation. Design/methodology/approach First, a modelling process is made in order to build...
