Correction Scheme

In this article, a dynamic pose correction scheme is proposed to enhance the pose accuracy of industrial robots. The dynamic pose correction scheme uses the dynamic pose measurements as feedback to accurately guide the robot end-effector to the desired pose. The pose is measured online with an optical coordinate measure machine, that is, C-Track 780 from Creaform. A root mean square method is proposed to filter the noise from the pose measurements. The dynamic pose correction scheme adopts proportional-integral-derivaitve controller and generates commands to the FANUC robot controller. The developed dynamic pose correction scheme has been tested on two industrial robots, FANUC LR Mate 200iC and FANUC M20iA. The experimental results on both robots demonstrate that the robots can reach the desired pose with an accuracy of ±0.050 mm for position and ±0.050° for orientation. As a result, the developed pose correction can make the industrial robots meet higher accuracy requirement in the applications such as riveting, drilling, and spot welding.

The Brain

Motion modularity is the main method of motion control for higher animals. That means the complex movements of the muscles are made up of basic motion primitives, and the brain or central nervous system does not care about the specific details of the movement. However, the industrial robot control system does not adopt the technical roadmap of motion modularity, it generates complex trajectories by providing a large number of sampling points. This approach is equivalent to using the brain to directly guide the specific movement of the muscle and has to rely on a faster Fieldbus system to obtain complex motion trajectories. This work constructs a modularized industrial robot trajectory generation component based on Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP) theory. With this component, the robot controller can generate complex trajectories without increasing the sampling points and can obtain good trajectory accuracy. Finally, the rationality of this system is proved by simulations and experiments.

Increasing the accessibility of collaborative robotics requires interfaces that support intuitive teleoperation. One possibility for an intuitive interface is offered by wearable systems that measure the operator’s movement and use the information for robot control. Such wearable systems should preserve the operator’s movement capabilities and, thus, their ability to flexibly operate in the workspace. This paper presents a novel wireless wearable system that uses only inertial measurement units (IMUs) to determine the orientation of the operator’s upper body parts. An algorithm was developed to transform the measured orientations to movement commands for an industrial collaborative robot. The algorithm includes a calibration procedure, which aligns the coordinate systems of all IMUs, the operator, and the robot, and the transformation of the operator’s relative hand motions to the movement of the robot’s end effector, which takes into account the operator’s orientation relative to the robot. The developed system is demonstrated with an example of an industrial application in which a workpiece needs to be inserted into a fixture. The robot’s motion is compared between the developed system and a standard robot controller. The results confirm that the developed system is intuitive, allows for flexible control, and is robust enough for use in industrial collaborative robotic applications.

Kinematic Studies

This paper presents a kinematic analysis for an open architecture 6R robot controller, which is designed to control robots made by domestic manufactures with structural variations. Usually, robot kinematic studies are often introduced for specific robot types, and therefore, difficult to apply the kinematic model from one to another robot. This study incorporates most of the robot structural variations in one model so that it is convenient to switch robot types by modifying model parameters. By combining an adequate set of parameters, the kinematic models, especially the inverse kinematics, are derived. The kinematic models are proved to be suitable for many classic industrial robot types, such as Puma560, ABB IRB120/1600, KAWASAKI RS003N/RS010N, FANUC M6iB/M10iA, and therefore be applicable to those with similar structures. The analysis and derivation of the forward and inverse kinematic models are presented, and the results are proven to be accurate.

Jacobian Inverse

Due to the elasticity of their joints, collaborative robots are seldom used in applications with force control. Besides, the industrial robot controllers are closed and do not allow the user to access the motor torques and other parameters, hindering the possibility of carrying out a customized control. A good alternative to achieve a custom force control is sending the output of the force regulator to the robot controller through motion commands (inner/outer loop control). There are different types of motion commands (e.g., position or velocity). They may be implemented in different ways (Jacobian inverse vs. Jacobian transpose), but this information is usually not available for the user. This article is dedicated to the analysis of the effect of different inner loops and their combination with several external controllers. Two of the most determinant factors found are the type of the inner loop and the stiffness matrix. The theoretical deductions have been experimentally verified on a collaborative robot UR3, allowing us to choose the best behaviour in a polishing operation according to pre-established criteria.
