Cooperative 2-DOF Robots for Precision Assembly
Conference Paper, Proceedings of (ICRA) International Conference on Robotics and Automation, Vol. 3, pp. 2188 - 2193, April, 1996
Abstract
A new configuration of cooperative 2-DOF robots is presented for use in precision assembly applications. This configuration consists of direct drive planar linear motors traveling on a tabletop platen stator surface combined with overhead 2-DOF manipulators. We outline desirable features of a precision assembly system and use them to compare the proposed configuration to typical configurations that use 4-DOF robots. Advantages of the new approach are used to motivate further research needed to fully develop precision assembly systems based on this concept.
