Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to find a practical and effective way to test wearing product lifetime with two SCARA robots.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper designs a mathematical model to simulate human motion, calculate the coordinate trajectory, then implement with two SCARA robots.

Findings

The two-robot testing platform for wrist band is an effective and precise simulation method and is feasible to deploy in mass production.

Originality/value

The paper introduces a way for apply robots in wearing product lifetime testing which is novel, practical and effective.
