Force‐guided robot in automated assembly of mobile phone: overcoming component misalignment
Abstract
This paper describes the development of a force‐guided robot that uses the information of contact force to overcome component misalignment in the automated assembly of a mobile phone. Several possibilities of misalignment in the assembly of the back chassis and front housing of the mobile phone are studied. An assembly approach using force‐guided motion is implemented to perform the assembly task. The assembly operation was carried out in the presence of translational and rotational misalignment of the mating components. Experimental results show that the proposed assembly approach successfully performs the assembly task.
