A robotic assembly task is usually implemented as a sequence of simple motions, and the transitions between the motions are made when some events occur. These events can usually be detected with thresholds on some signal, but faster response is possible by detecting the transient on that signal. Thi…
For using industrial robots in applications where the robot physically interacts with the environment, such as assembly, force control is usually needed. A force sensor may, however, be expensive and add mass to the system. An alternative is therefore to estimate the external force using the motor t…
Industrial robots are important when the degree of automation in industry is increased. To enable the use of robots also when the products change rapidly, the programming must be quick and easy to perform. One way to accomplish this is to use lead-through programming, i.e., the user manually guides…
