Optimal Trajectory Planning for Spray Coating

Development of an optimal trajectory model for spray painting on a free surface

Generally, trajectory planning problems are often formulated as constrained variational problems. This paper develops an optimal trajectory model to optimize the trajectory planning on a free surface to achieve uniform deposition over painted surface and reduce wastage of coating materials. Numerical solution techniques consider geometric characteristics on a free surface, rate of film accumula...

Fast solution techniques for a class of optimal trajectory planning problems with applications to automated spray coating

Investigation on the Trajectory Planning of Spray Gun of Spray Robot and Its Spraying Effect

The industrial robot plays a very important role in stabilizing and improving the quality of products, production efficiency, working conditions and the rapid upgrading of products. It is often composed of a mechanical body, control device, driving system and detection and sensing device, and can be used in three-dimensional space to complete integration of automatic production and processing e...

Optimal Trajectory Planning of a Box Transporter Mobile Robot

This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...

Spray-painting Motion Planning and Quality Analysis in Powder Coating Systems

The paper reports results on the automation of the spray-painting process in industrial powder coating plants. The automation of the spray-painting process requires a painting model and the definition of appropriate metrics for painting task validation. Two main topics are addressed in the paper: motion planning of paint deposition and paint quality analysis. A paint quality function is formula...
