...Ming Li; Rongsheng Lu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a high-precision method for localizing the Target Ball of an industrial robot, using Binocular Stereo Vision (BSV). Design/methodology/approach The steps for modeling the kinematics of a flexible robot include three steps...

... of a collaborative robot. However, flexibility caused by the reduced weight and large load-to-weight ratio leads to low-frequency resonance and residual vibration during the operation of the robot, which reduces the working accuracy and efficiency. The vibrations of the collaborative robot are suppressed using...

... vary the factor‐of‐safety. © MCB UP Limited 2003 In addition to safety benefits, the robots provide the flexibility to switch production in minutes. Earlier, the switching chore used dedicated tooling which robbed precious production time; that is, if the tooling could be changed. Today...

...N.F. Edmondson; A.H. Redford One of the first steps in designing a flexible assembly system is the selection of an appropriate manipulator. There are a number of different manipulator configurations which can be chosen depending on a variety of factors such as the assembly workspace layout, product...
