Flexible robot configuration cell in manufacturing industry

Manufacturing configuration work is a very tedious process that relies on the way a system is determined and the experience of the person involved. This work is also based on the requirements set by the user. In this research work, the development of flexible approach for configuring robot work cell...

This work is also based on the requirements set by the user. In this research work, the development of flexible approach for configuring robot work cell in manufacturing industry is presented. An articulated robot with six (6) degree of freedom (DOF) is taken as reference to represent the configuration layout because it is one of the most widely used robot in industries. The purpose of this research is to develop a new flexible approach for easy configuring robot work cell with minimal configuration time, less human or expert involvement and at little or no further investment. The different emerging strategies which focus on the configuration work has been highlighted and reviewed.
