...Tianyu Zhang; Hongguang Wang; Peng LV; Xin’an Pan; Huiyang Yu Purpose Collaborative robots (cobots) are widely used in various manipulation tasks within complex industrial environments. However, the manipulation capabilities of cobot manipulation planning are reduced by task, environment and joint...

... of examples that use the new Kassow 810 collaborative robot as a test-case demonstration. In the process, the authors expect readers to fully understand how to use all these tools to other machines and to their own designs. Design/methodology/approach Consequently, the paper follows a step-by-step...

.... Design/methodology/approach In this paper, a mathematical model of pose repeatability, which includes positioning repeatability and orientation repeatability of robots, is established. According to the ISO 9283 standard, an optimal synthesis method of pose repeatability for collaborative robots...

...Philip Long; Christine Chevallereau; Damien Chablat; Alexis Girin Purpose The installation of industrial robots requires security barriers, a costly, time-consuming exercise. Collaborative robots may offer a solution; however, these systems only comply with safety standards if operating at reduced...

...Richard Bloss Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the dramatic entry of collaborative robotics into applications. It also examines the current state of the art for collaborative robotics, factors driving their entry and their outlook for the future. Design/methodology/approach...
