Toward a Sustainable Human-Robot Collaborative Production Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors addressed the sustainability issues of the robotic systems from the environmental and social aspects, and three approaches were developed: the first one an on-line approach, the second on-board approach, and the third on-ground approach.
Some benefits of jit application on the assembly line in manufacturing industry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the necessity of knowing and applying of Just in Time concept for today Manufacturing and present a synthesis of the characteristics that define this concept, methods of application and some significant results.

Human-Centred Automation to Simplify the Path to Social and Economic Sustainability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an outline of existing methods to prevent MSD at the workplace and demonstrate how the Human-Centred Automation (HCA) concept can be applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Batch time optimization for an aerodynamic feeding system under changing ambient conditions
TL;DR: The objective of this work is to develop a mathematical model to define the optimal control interval and limit of the orientation rate for triggering the corrective algorithm depending on the total amount of parts still to be fed at any point in time.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust control of dynamically interacting systems
J.E. Colgate,Neville Hogan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes an approach to the design of ‘interaction controllers’ and contrasts this with an Approach to the Design of Approaches toDynamic interaction with the environment is fundamental to the process of manipulation.
