Architecture for Rapidly Reconfigurable Robot Workcell
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Reconfigurable robot workcell is a collection of standardized components, such as actuators, rigid links, tools, fixtures, sensors, and transport systems. These components can be rapidly assembled and configured to form a robotic workcell for a specific task. In this article, we describe the architecture of this type of reconfigurable workcells based on component technology. Both hardware and software aspects of the workcell are described. In addition, the control and simulation environment for the robot workcell, SEMORS, is introduced.

متن کاملRapid Evaluation of Reconfigurable Robots Anatomies Using Computational Intelligence
Designing a reconfigurable manufacturing robotic workcell is a complex and resource demanding procedure. In this work a multi criteria index is introduced, allowing the designer to evaluate the various anatomies achieved by a reconfigurable manipulator, and to define the area in the manipulator’s configuration space where a task can be accomplished with good performance under the selected perfo...
متن کاملAdvances in agile manufacturing
An agile workcell has been developed for light mechanical assembly in collaboration with industrial sponsors. The workcell includes multiple Adept robots, a Bosch conveyor system, multiple flexible parts feeders at each robot’s workstation, CCD cameras for parts feeding and hardware registration, and a dual VMEbus control system. Our flexible parts feeder design uses multiple conveyors to singu...
