Industrial robotics is a branch of that gained paramount importance in the last century. The presence robots totally revolutionized industrial environment just few decades. In this paper, brief history 20th century will be presented, and proposal for classifying evolution into four generations set forward. characteristics belonging to each generation are mentioned, their features described. most significant milestones robots, from 1950’s end century, together with description representative...
Abstract Industrial collaborative robotics is promising for manufacturing activities where the presence of a robot alongside human operator can improve operator’s working conditions, flexibility, and productivity. A robotic application has to guarantee not only safety operator, but also fluency in collaboration, as well performance terms productivity task time. In this paper, we present an approach enhance human-robot collaboration through online scaling dynamic zones. supervisory controller...
In this paper, authors present a novel architecture for controlling an industrial robot via eye tracking interface artistic purposes. Humans and robots interact thanks to acquisition system based on tracker device that allows the user control motion of robotic manipulator with his gaze. The feasibility is evaluated experimental tests in which teleoperated draw images. tool can be used by artists investigate forms art amputees or people movement disorders muscular paralysis, as assistive...
Enhancing energy efficiency is one of the main challenges today’s industrial robotics and manufacturing technology. In this paper a task-related analysis energetic performance 4-DOF parallel robot presented, optimal location predefined task with respect to workspace investigated. An position relative can indeed reduce actuators’ effort consumption required complete considered operation. The dynamic electro-mechanical models manipulators are developed implemented estimate parametrized motion...
At today, available mechatronics technology allows exploiting smart and precise sensors as well embedded effective mechatronic systems for developing (semi-)autonomous robotic platforms able to both navigate in different outdoor environments implementing Precision Farming techniques. In this work, the experimental assessment of performance a mobile lab, ByeLab — Bionic eYe Laboratory is presented discussed. The ByeLab, developed at Faculty Science Technology Free University Bolzano (I), has...
Energy saving in robotic and mechatronic systems is becoming an evermore important topic both industry academia. One strategy to reduce the energy consumption, especially for cyclic tasks, exploiting natural motion. We define motion as system response caused by conversion of potential elastic into kinetic energy. This can be a forced assisted motor or free response. The application concepts allows tasks characterized repetitive review paper proposes classification several approaches motion,...
In this paper, we present non-photorealistic rendering techniques that are applied together with a painting robot to realize artworks original styles. Our robotic system is called Busker Robot and it has been considered of interest in recent art fairs international exhibitions. It consists six degree-of-freedom collaborative series image processing path planning algorithms. particular, here, two different presented description the experimental set-up carried out. Finally, results discussed...
This article presents the design and experimental validation of a novel 3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) pendulum-like cable-driven robot capable executing point-to-point motions by leveraging partial feedback linearization control on-line trajectory planning based on adaptive frequency oscillators (AFOs). Unlike most cable-suspended parallel robots, which rely at least n actuated cables to DOF, proposed is performing 3-DOF motions, from starting pose goal one within its dynamic workspace, means...
In this paper, we present a quantitative performance investigation and repeatability assessment of mobile robotic system for 3D mapping. With the aim more efficient automatic data acquisition process with respect to well-established manual topographic operations, laser scanner coupled an inertial measurement unit is installed on platform used perform high-resolution mapping surrounding environment. Point clouds obtained use robot are compared those acquired device carried manually as well...
