Cognitive Mechatronic Devices for Reconfigurable Production of Complex Parts

This paper discusses a robotic cell that handles geometrically complex products, exploiting cognitive control and actuation systems for the manipulation, assembly packaging. The individual mechatronic components, namely 6-DoF gripper flexible mechanism, have been designed via functional decomposition of actual handling tasks. flexibility these mechanisms is exploited through modules, performing different cognition functions at cell, resource device level. design approach can be generalized tasks requiring dexterity adaptation to products. A case study from consumer goods sector, showcases system’s reconfigurability efficiency.
