...Bin Fang; Hongxiang Xue; Fuchun Sun; Yiyong Yang; Renxiang Zhu Purpose The purpose of the paper is to present a novel cross-modal sensor whose tactile is computed by the visual information. The proposed sensor can measure the forces of robotic grasping. Design/methodology/approach The proposed...

... important steps for its implementation in industry and specifically the automotive industry. Design/methodology/approach This study focuses on the robot deflections during FSW, by relating process forces to the deviations from the programmed robot path and to the strength of the obtained joint. A robot...

... musculoskeletal system” is achieved through the use of the pneumatic artificial muscles. The study provides a novel method to describe the force property of the articulated mechanism driven by muscle actuator and a transmission. Design/methodology/approach A musculoskeletal system consists of multiple bodies...

... test of the BTSM system has been carried out in terms of basic functions such as force threshold, bilateral control and force reflection characteristic. Originality/value With respect to design characteristic, the BTSM system has the novel features in that the individual motor modules or the slave...

...Geoff Pegman; Philippe Desbats; Franck Geffard; Gérard Piolain; Alain Coudray Purpose Aims to describe how to make an industrial robot work as a telemanipulator with force feedback, in order to carry out various tasks for remote handling in nuclear fuel cycle plants. Design/methodology/approach...

... execution. Also presents feasibility studies in support of the ideas. Discusses some solutions to the problem using six degrees of freedom force control together with the ABB S4CPlus system as an illustrative example. Consider various problems in the design of an open sensor interface for industrial...

...Edwin A. Erlbacher There are two commercially accepted methods of force control used in automated surface finishing today. The first method, “through‐the‐arm” force control, applies force using the position of all the robot axes in unison. The second method, “around‐the‐arm” force control, uses...
