Optimizing performance in automation through modular robots
Stefan B. Liu,Matthias Althoff,Stefan B. Liu,Matthias Althoff
Flexible manufacturing and automation require robots that can be adapted to changing tasks. We propose to use modular robots that are customized from given modules for a specific task. This work presents an algorithm for proposing a module composition that is optimal with respect to performance metrics such as cycle time and energy efficiency, while considering kinematic, dynamic, and obstacle con...
