On Safety Solutions in an Assembly HMI-Cell
TL;DR: The increased diffusion of cooperation between humans and robotics in manufacturing systems is one of the next things to implement within robotics as mentioned in this paper, since the computer power gets more and more power as the computer technology gets faster and faster.
Alternative design of robot cell concepts for flexible production
TL;DR: This thesis report includes an introduction to flexible manufacturing, which is something that most companies is aiming to accomplish due to the increased demand for variety and a competitive global market.

Models and algorithms for U-shaped assembly line balancing problem with collaborative robots
TL;DR: In this paper , three mixed-integer programming models are formulated to optimize the cycle time, and the built models are capable of solving the small-sized instances optimally and two algorithms, artificial bee colony algorithm and migrating bird optimization algorithm, are developed and improved to tackle the large-sized instance, where new encoding scheme and decoding procedure are developed for this new problem.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Vision-based Aided-Grasping in Teleoperation with Multiple Unknown Objects
TL;DR: An aided-grasping algorithm which autonomously corrects the pose of a robot hand using an eye-in-hand camera is proposed and experiments with objects placed in arbitrary positions have shown a successful implementation of the algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Prototyping of a 6-dof Parallel Robot for the Automatic Performance of Assembly Tasks
TL;DR: The development of a 6-dof parallel robot for the performance of assembly tasks in a human-robot collaborative environment that can physically interact with an environment or with humans without requiring the use of a force/torque sensor is presented.

Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments
Richard Adams,Blake Hannaford +1 more
TL;DR: By decoupling the haptic display control problem from the design of virtual environments, the use of a virtual coupling network frees the developer of haptic-enabled virtual reality models from issues of mechanical stability.

Towards a 3g crawling robot through the integration of microrobot technologies
TL;DR: This paper discusses the biomimetic design and assembly of a 3g self-contained crawling robot fabricated through the integrated use of various microrobot technologies and presents results of both the kinematic and static analyses of the driving mechanism that essentially consists of three slider cranks in series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast and "soft-arm" tactics [robot arm design]
Antonio Bicchi,G. Tonietti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of designing joint-actuation mechanisms that can allow fast and accurate operation of a robot arm, while guaranteeing a suitably limited level of injury risk.
