Anchor-bolt insertion is a peg-in-hole task performed in the construction field for holes in concrete. Efforts have been made to automate this task, but the variable lighting and hole surface conditions, as well as the requirements for short setup and task execution time make the automation challeng
A method that enables an industrial robot to accomplish the peg-in-hole task for holes in concrete is proposed. The proposed method involves slightly detaching the peg from the wall, when moving between search positions, to avoid the negative influence of the concrete’s high friction coefficient. It…
Regular inspections of belt conveyors are required to prevent the damage of transported objects. Nevertheless, inspections can be troublesome for belt conveyors composed of a plurality of belt lines with multiple branches. To improve the inspection process, an inspection device composed of an inerti
Belt conveyors are transport systems composed by a plurality of belt lines. When those systems are used to transport fragile materials or liquid containers, it is necessary to minimize the oscillations of the transported objects in order to avoid damage, spillage and particle degradation. Those osci…
