چکیده

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs) offer a key technology for the realization of mass customization. Compared with integral systems, RMS may provide system configurations to satisfy a wide range of Functional Requirements (FRs). An important issue for RMS is configuration design, the determination of a configuration from all of feasible configurations to meet FRs. Configuration design of strongly coupled RMS, such as reconfigurable robotic system, has particular challenges due to special characteristics compared with dedicated systems. In this research, a methodology for the design of Reconfigurable Robotic Systems (RRSs) is described. The proposed methodology can be generalized to other reconfigurable manufacturing systems having similar features.

A Hierarchical Motion Planning Strategy for a Uniform Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robotic System

This paper describes a multi-layered hierarchical motion planning strategy for a class of self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems, I-Cubes. The approach is based on the synthesis of motion on the basis of metacubes, which have a particular structure possessing 8 Cubes and 16 Links. The developed strategy organizes the metacube motions and the corresponding cube-level motions. At the lowest ...

Digitally Excited Reconfigurable Linear Antenna Array Using Swarm Optimization Algorithms

This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...

A scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies

This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...

New Performance Indices and Workspace Analysis of Reconfigurable Hyper-Redundant Robotic Arms

In this paper, we introduce new performance indices to characterize the workspace of reconfigurable hyper-redundant robotic arms. These indices are then used to analyze the workspace of a type of hyper-redundant robotic arm using as modules lower mobility parallel platforms. The modules of the reconfigurable robotic arm are the three-legged translational universal–prismatic–universal (UPU) and ...
