Cutting robots: a review of technologies and applications
Robert BogueThe purpose of this paper is to provide a review of robotic cutting techniques and applications.
Applying Michael Porter's extended rivalry model to the robotics industry
Harold HopkinsThis paper aims to analyse the robotics industry using Michael Porter's extended rivalry model. His model assesses the relative strength of buyers, suppliers, potential entrants…
Robotic machining from programming to process control: a complete solution by force control
Zengxi Pan, Hui ZhangThis paper aims to present the critical issues and methodologies to improve robotic machining performance with flexile industrial robots.
Maximum allowable manipulator mass based on cycle time, impact safety and pinching safety
M.M.A. Vermeulen, M. WisseSafety is an important issue when manipulators operate in an environment where humans are present, such as the agriculture industry. An intrinsically safe mechanical system…
On‐line path planning strategy integrated with collision and dead‐lock avoidance schemes for wheeled mobile robot in indoor environments
Ya‐Chun Chang, Yoshio YamamotoThis paper aims to present a hybrid path planning algorithm which is designed for use of autonomous vehicles in indoor environments. The approach mainly contributes the ability of…
A robust localization algorithm in topological maps with dynamic noises
Kyungmin Lee, Nakju Lett Doh, Wan Kyun Chung, Seoung Kyou Lee, Sang‐Yep NamThe paper's purpose is to propose a localization algorithm for topological maps constituted by nodes and edges in a graph form. The focus is to develop a robust localization…
Pneumatic balloon actuators for tactile feedback in robotic surgery
Martin Culjat, Chih‐Hung King, Miguel Franco, James Bisley, Warren Grundfest, Erik DutsonRobotic surgery is limited by the lack of haptic feedback to the surgeon. The addition of tactile information may enable surgeons to feel tissue characteristics, appropriately…
The joint‐limits and singularity avoidance in robotic welding
Liguo Huo, Luc BaronThe aim of this paper is to develop a redundancy‐resolution (RR) algorithm to optimize the joint space trajectory of the six‐rotation‐axis industrial robot as performing…
