Increasing Demand

The abstract must be a precise and reflection of what is in your article. Manufacturing sector is moving towards industry 4.0 and demands a high end of automation in the process. In which industrial robots play a fundamental role for automating the processes such as pick and place, material handling, palletizing, welding, painting, assembly lines and many more endless applications. Increasing demand and necessity made more research on industrial robots, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Better kinematic analysis of robots leads to reliable, high precise and fast responsive system. But there is an absence of India based robot manufacturers to fulfil the rising demand. Again, this situation leads to a market for foreign robot makers instead of local players. Lack of knowledge in robotics, unavailability of robot parts and resources are pain points for this cause. As researchers in this domain and have a goal to resolve this issue by providing open source, easily accessible industrial robot technical resources to everyone. This research work focuses the design and development of 6 Degrees of Freedom articulated robot arm with kinematic analysis particularly forward and inverse kinematics.

Robotic Automation

Current trends in the industrial or any other economic sector is to mechanize and gradually to automate individual procedures through the use of various technologies. The purpose of this is to minimize strenuous human labour and eliminate human error. Robotic automation can be effectively used in material handling operations, whether it is a logistics warehouse operation or a transport loading operation. This article deals with the characteristics of different types of industrial robots. It compares the different types of robots in terms of their appropriate application and consequently defines the requirements for those robots that can be applied in handling operations in transport and logistics.

Useful Lifetime

With increased product dynamics world-wide, the average economic lifetime of production systems is falling. Industrial robots are widely assumed to be inherently flexible and therefore that they can function as a programmable building block of response production systems. This paper reviews common capabilities of contemporary industrial robotic systems and investigates their capability to extend the useful lifetime of production system by coping with different types of product dynamic. Also considered are relative capabilities of conventional programmable robots and an emerging generation of programmable and configurable component-based machines.

Folk Tradition

Different types of folklore texts differ from each other by their function. We can distinguish between genres meant to be believed (like legend) and genres recognized in advance as fiction (fairy-tale). At the same time, textual fiction may also have served practical purposes—such as the telling of fairy-tales during the late autumn and early winter for purposes of fertility magic—as used to be the case in the Estonian folk tradition. There are folklore genres that have functioned, among other things, as an accompaniment, comment on, or support to rituals or practices being carried out—for instance, an incantation during a cure, or a lament in death-related procedures, when a person must be separated from his familiar environment. The same textual formulae fulfil different tasks in different genres, which means that they also carry a different meaning. The present paper considers some themes related to the bodily aspect of humanity in various genres of folklore, particularly in songs and laments, as well as in practices related to death and commemoration. As expected, the problems connected with the human body have in these genres undergone transformations of meaning, the understanding and interpretation of which may vary considerably. The mater­ial discussed in the article derives mainly from the Balto-Finnic and north Russian cultural area, partly from the author's own experience during his field trips.

Time Issue

This paper studies the scheduling problem of material handling by AGV in complex stochastic production lines. We establish the AGV distribution rule that each AGV is responsible for only one zone, thus reduce the muti-vehicle problem to single-vehicle problem. Its difficult to use exact model to solve the problem since the scheduling problem is related to the time issue. Most literature adopts heuristic or meta-heuristic methods. We build discrete model to solve the problem based on the special structure of our problem, adding constraints only when loading and unloading events happen. The computational results demonstrate that our model can effectively solve the AGV scheduling problem.

Minimal Paths

In this paper, minimal paths and cuts technique is developed to handle fault tree analysis (FTA) on the critical components of industrial robots. This analysis is integrated with the reliability block diagram (RBD) approach in order to investigate the robot system reliability. The model is implemented in a complex advanced manufacturing system having autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) as material handling devices. FTA grants cause and effects and hierarchical properties to the model. On the other hand, RBD simplifies the complex system of the AGVs for reliability evaluation. The results show that due to the filtering of the paths in a manufacturing system for AGVs, the reliability is highly dependent on the mostly occupied paths by AGVs. The failure probability for the AGV is considered to follow the exponential probability distribution and thus the whole system reliability using minimal paths and cuts method is obtained 0.8741.

Moving Process

This research developed a vision navigation autonomous mobile robot and combined it with industrial automated production line. Due to traditional TFT-LCD production lines, the load/unload depends on Manual Guided Vehicle (MGV) or Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). However, it needed to construct many tracks so that the MGV or AGV can move. The track is high cost and is not easy to adjust. Hence, our research developed an autonomous mobile robot with vision navigation technology to determine the location of TFT-LCD panel and the obstruction in the moving process. Furthermore, we successfully developed an intelligent vision navigation autonomous mobile robot in this research. It not only improved the shortcoming of setting up a lot of tracks, but also avoided the obstructions automatically to enhance the safety.

Alarm Processing

Within the exploitation of the automated production systems (APS) framework, supervision and monitoring take the dependability into account. In order to reach these objectives, a method is being developed at the Laboratoire d'Automatique et d'Informatique Industrielle de Lille in a supervision and monitoring framework. The main functions are detection, diagnosis, modes management and faults recovery. This paper focuses on two kinds of modelling: functional modelling and behavioural modelling. On the one hand, these models are used to implement the diagnosis and the modes management functions. On the other hand, the complementarity of these models enables them to be used within the alarm processing system framework. Indeed, the design of intelligent alarm processing systems (IAPS) is a critical problem. One common problem is the number of alarms that operators have to manage. This paper focuses on the problem of the management of avalanches of alarms after the occurrence of failures in a complex process. To deal with this problem, different types of alarm are defined from the functional and behavioural modelling of the process to be surveyed. Filtering rules, based on the concepts of validation and inhibition, are also proposed.
