We have constructed 3-D sensing system for alignment of connector-fitted cables as flexible linear objects which used to be difficult to be automated at the production sites. In the system an industrial robot has a 3-D sensor and a monocular camera mounted at the hand. 3-D sensor, using space encoding method, allows the robot to make high-precision measurements of the order of sub-millimeters, but emphasis is placed on precision at the expense of fields of view. In addition, active sensing methods such as the space encoding method is hard to take measurements for black cables, as well as it has some difficulties with measurements of semitransparent plastic connectors depending on view-points. To cope with those problems, our system is such that the monocular camera on the robot is moved for motion stereo to take measurements on cable shapes; connector’s poses are coarsely estimated from the measurement results; and such view-points as will ensure stable measurements are computed by space encoding method to take precision measurements of connectors. Technical features of the system could be summarized as follows: 1) Determination of view-points to measure connectors, based on measurements of cable shapes, requires no more than two measurements, without repeated searches, to grab semitransparent plastic connectors. 2) Performance of stereo correspondence for plain or black cables, which tends to result in a failure with the aids of no more than irradiated slit patterns and epipolar constraints, has been improved through sequential correspondence inmotion image sequence and its stability evaluations. At the operation tests in the validation system, the robot is assigned a task to assemble the cables into industrial servo amplifiers available on the market, in which automatic alignment of 200 connector-fitted cables has successfully been accomplished in succession to confirm constant performance of the system.

A new method to collect royal jelly is proposed according to the view of industrial robot. A three-dimensional model of royal jelly collecting robot with a monocular camera is built. Detecting the particular shapes via Fourier Descriptors and finding the corresponding target points though the image shot by the camera. The vision-based process and the 3-D simulation are performed alternately to simulate picking up queen bee larvae according to robotic forward kinematics and inverse kinematics.

The gripper is the most important part in an industrial robot. It is related with the environment around the robot. Today, the industrial robot grippers have to be tuned and custom made for each application by engineers, by searching to get the desired repeatability and behaviour. Vacuum suction is one of the grippers in Watch Case Press Production (WCPP) and a mechanism to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing procedure. Pick and place are the important process for the annealing process. Thus, by implementing vacuum suction gripper, the process of pick and place can be improved. The purpose of vacuum gripper other than design vacuum suction mechanism is to compare the effectiveness of vacuum suction gripper with the conventional pick and place gripper. Vacuum suction gripper is a mechanism to transport part and which later sequencing, eliminating and reducing the activities required to complete the process. Throughout this study, the process pick and place became more effective, the impact on the production of annealing process is faster. The vacuum suction gripper can pick all part at the production which will lower the loss of the productivity. In conclusion, vacuum suction gripper reduces the cycle time about 20%. Vacuum suction gripper can help lower the cycle time of a machine and allow more frequent process in order to increase the production flexibility.

Urgency of the research. Automated workplaces are growing up in present, especially with implementation of industrial robots with feasibility of various dispositions, where safety and risk assessment is considered as most important issues. Target setting. The protection of workers must be at the first place, therefore safety and risk assessment at automated workplaces is most important problematic, which had presented in this article Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Actual research is much more focused at standard workplaces without industrial robots. So, missing of information from the field of automated workplaces in connection with various dispositions can be considered as added value of article. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Despite to lot of general safety instructions in this area, still is missed clear view only at automated workplace with industrial robots. The research objective. The aim of article is to provide general instructions directly from the field of automated workplaces The statement of basic materials. For success realization of automated workplace is good to have a helping hand and orientation requirements needed for risk assessment at the workplace. Conclusions. The results published in this article increase the awareness and information of such automated workplaces, together with industrial robots. In addition, presented general steps and requirements helps persons for better realization of these types of workplaces, where major role takes an industrial robot. Our proposed solution can be considered as relevant base for risk assessment such workplaces with safety fences or light barriers.

This paper proposes the development of the methodology to be carried out for the metal joining process through the GMAW welding process in the Fanuc LR Mate 200iD industrial robot. The parameters or properties were considered for the application to be as efficient as possible, such parameters as speed of application, characteristics of the filler material, gas to be used as welding protection. The GMAW welding process can be applied semiautomatically using a hand gun, in which the electrode is fed by a coil, or an automatic form that includes automated equipment or robots. The advantages and disadvantages of the GMAW welding process applied in a manual and automated way were commented. The mechanical properties of the materials to which said welding can be applied were investigated; The materials with which this type of welding can be worked are the high strength materials, which are used in the automotive industry, for the forming of sheet metal. To know the properties of the material, destructive tests were carried out on the test material to be used, as well as the mechanical properties of the welding.
