Evolving embodied intelligence from materials to machines

Nature Machine Intelligence, 2019
Natural lifeforms specialize to their environmental niches across many levels, from low-level features such as DNA and proteins, through to higher-level artefacts including eyes, limbs and overarching body plans.

Assembly with co‐operating robots

Assembly Automation, 1995
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.

Robotic assembly: a synthesizing overview

Robotica, 1987
SUMMARYRobotic assembly systems offer tremendous promise for the flexible assembly automation but present a variety ofcomplexresearch issues due to the positioning inaccuracy of the manipulator, dimensional variation of mating parts and their physical interactions. This paper provides an up-to-date survey of researches in robotic assembly with emphasis

Robotized Assembly of Modular Fixtures

CIRP Annals, 1991
Summary A prototype plant for the robotized assembly of modular fixtures for NC machining centers is described. After presenting a brief summary of the present tendencies relative to the design, preparation and management of the fixtures, the plant and its components are described in their general structure, posing particular focus on the geometric ...

Grasping designed for robotic assembly

7th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, 2002. ICARCV 2002., 2004
Mechanical hands are not restricted in physical features in the way human hands are. Therefore, we should not be conned into designing mechanical hands or products and their parts on human limitations. A simultaneous and integrated approach to both the gripper and part design maximises the opportunity for the best mechanical outcome.

Generating products for robotic assembly

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
Design for robotic assembly has focused on constraining parts geometry and modularised designs to produce families of products. Constraints of this nature degenerate robot flexibility and fail to design products conducive to flexible robotic assembly and within the capabilities of robots. In this paper design principles addressing the needs of flexible

Assembly of robots by AI robot

Proceedings of the 1996 IEEE IECON. 22nd International Conference on Industrial Electronics, Control, and Instrumentation, 2002
This article introduces Fanuc's use of an AI robot to assemble minirobots, as an illustration of how we have applied robots to factory automation. The system presented in this article will lead to an intelligent manufacturing system which incorporates a level of machine know-how that places its capabilities on a par with those of a skilled operator.

Optimization of robot assembly planning

Proceedings. 1987 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2005
This paper presents an optimization procedure for solving three planning problems in single-arm assembly cells: sequence of assembly tasks, layout of cell accessories and selection of robot, abbreviated as the SLS problem. The proposed procedure uses a tree structure to represent alternative decisions at each stage of assembly.
