Assembly with co‐operating robots

Abstract

Looks at studies into the definition of design and management criteria for assembly cells with co‐operating robots. Examines task typologies into which the assembly process can be divided and discusses co‐ordination levels and control‐communication architectures. Also looks at the various phases of application development and how it covers many of the same areas of the manual assembly process. Concludes with a consideration of the three main classes of constraints between the actions which different robots have to carry out and states the co‐ordination level that robots have to maintain during constraint‐affected operations depends on these classes.
