...Ron Potter Robot‐equipped machining cells with vision and gauging systems efficiently improve throughput and reduce ergonomic concerns. This paper examines Webb Wheel Products’ installation of four robotic workcells dedicated to producing a family of brake drums and rotors. Each robot cell has...

... teleoperators, in which a human operator controls a robot and payload remotely. Cobots interact with people by producing software‐defined “virtual surfaces” which constrain and guide the motion of the shared payload, but add little or no power. Ergonomic as well as productivity benefits result from combining...
