Testing the Performance Characteristics of Manipulating Industrial Robots

The article is aimed at an issue of assessment of performance criteria of manipulating industrial robots with focusing on positioning performance. There are presented: the testing of one-directional pose accuracy and repeatability on Robot Fanuc LR Mate 200iC within the Laboratory of the Department of Automation and Production Systems and processing of the measured data. The laser interferometer Renishaw and digital indicator Mitutoyo Digimatic were used for performing the testing experiments

Utilisation of Kinect Sensors for the Design of a Human-Robot Collaborative Workcell

The paper deals with a present topic of utilisation of nonconventional sensors for solving the tasks of a human-robot collaboration within a shared workcell. The attention is primary focused on an exploring of possibilities of utilisation of low-cost Kinect sensors. The paper presents the methodical steps of solution of a sensor subsystem proposal within conditions of the laboratory robotised workcell, methods applied for the sensors intrinsic parameters calibration and their verification

The Design of Method Intended for Implementation of Collaborative Assembly Tasks

One of the main trends in industrial robotics is collaboration between human and robot. Collaboration is applied especially in the field of assembly tasks. The current automation technology is not at the level that could ensure demanding tasks. These tasks are often associated with actions requiring human skills. Many manufacturers of industrial robot offer a solution in the form of collaborative robot. These robots represent new opportunities for industry. In order to further develop area of collaborative robotics it is necessary to look for new technologies. This article deals with design of method which is based on open source platform. Method is applied to solve a real assembly task
