While offline calibration techniques such as volumetric error compensation can be used to correct robot kinematic error, these methods are unable to compensate for robot deformations caused by changing tool loads during the manufacturing operation. This paper explores the use of a real-time robot kinematic error compensation technique where an external high-precision feedback sensor (in this case a laser tracker) directly measures the robot kinematic error and corrections are implemented during processing. A robot kinematic error model is constructed to describe the difference between the programmed trajectory of the robot’s last link and the actual trajectory based on the laser tracker measurement of the 6DoF sensor attached to the last link of the robot. The compensation scheme developed in this paper requires the synchronization of the robot encoder and laser tracker sensor measurements, which is accomplished in the Robot Operating System (ROS). The previously developed kinematic error observer is briefly discussed and a kinematic error compensation that adjusts the robot’s reference path in real time is created in this paper. A discussion of the system (i.e., Yaskawa/Motoman MH180 industrial robot and Automated Precision Inc. laser tracker) hardware components and the software architecture utilized in the experiments conducted in this paper are provided. Initial experimental studies are conducted to determine delays in the feedback measurement, which was 30 ms, explore the effects of controller gain on the system performance, and characterize the noise in the feedback measurement. The controller had an overdamped response with a settling time of 8.758 s. Subsequent experiments investigated the effect of robot velocity on tracking and the ability of the controller to reject a constant force disturbance. It was found that the kinematic error increased linearly as the robot velocity increased, and the controller was able to reject a constant force disturbance of 45 lb within the designed settling time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":91947,"journal":{"name":"Procedia manufacturing","volume":"53 ","pages":"Pages 705-715"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.promfg.2021.06.069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54984248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work also serves to enumerate and associate the underlying causes to the detrimental effects which manifest as undesirable part/process outcomes.

Fenceless coexistence may lead to discomfort of operators especially in cases where close Human Robot Interaction (HRI) occurs. This work aims at designing and implementing a natural Human-System and System-Human interaction framework that enables seamless interaction between operators and their “robot colleagues”. This natural interaction will strengthen hybrid implementation through increased: a) operator’s and system’s awareness, b) operator’s trust to the system, and through the decrease of: a) human errors and b) safety incidents. The overall architecture of the proposed system makes it scalable, flexible, and applicable in different collaborative scenarios by enabling the connectivity of multiple interfaces with customizable environments according to operator’s needs.

New business cases can be generated also for individual Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) by taking advantage of the connection with the Industry 4.0 opportunities and by building on cross-sectorial markets and the potential of digital solutions.
