Nowadays, the automotive industry still incorporates collaborative robots and their applications into the less traditional processes to automate them. The purpose is to make up for the skill gap, retain skilled staff, attract the younger generation, and increase quality. The paper brings a short overview of the automated collaborative workplace, including the PFL technique description and possibilities. Also, human-robot collaboration (HRC) is elaborated together with the example of such an automated workplace (with dual-arm robotic system participation). The specific contact (transient, quasi-static) between the human body and robotic system is described to fulfill the HRC and PFL technique. It also summarizes and explains ISO / TS 15066 details to apply this technique at automated assembly process example.

Abstract This paper summarizes the latest developments in robot-to-robot collaboration for fixtureless assembly. In addition, some of the technology challenges and potential applications in the automotive industry are described. Fixtureless assembly systems have been developed to increase the flexibility of body shop systems. These systems eliminate the need for using dedicated fixtures to set the geometry of body assemblies. A key technology enabler for a fixtureless assembly process is robot-to-robot collaboration based on perception and advanced control solutions. In a fixtureless assembly process, robots move and hold parts together in the geometry setting pose for assembly instead of using fixtures. In this paper the technology requirements and performance results of a production-relevant demonstration cell are presented. Moreover, the technology and performance requirements to use the fixtureless approach in other automotive assembly applications are reviewed. Results show that dimensional performance from the newly developed fixtureless process was acceptable and within the tolerance range. Initial cost estimate show that a fixtureless process offers a significant cost benefit over a conventional assembly process, especially for a multi-style production line or when new styles are frequently introduced.

AbstractThis paper reports upon the design and development of a novel testing rig for the examination of additively manufactured auxetic componentry. By firstly reviewing the key challenges for practical researchers and exploring the range of approaches used to examine auxetic structures, we subsequently introduce a new testing configuration seeking to enhance the existing methods found within the literature. The developed testing configuration includes a novel mechanical design with a new method for component mounting offering advanced control of the boundary condition and a fully developed control interface which facilitates real-time analytics, a range of data acquisitions and integration with a CAD environment. This paper describes both the development of the mechanical design and the development of the control interface by exploring the key design features and documentation of the manufacturing and assembly process. Finally, we discuss how the presented testing configuration offers a new and flexible way of testing auxetic componentry with additional insights offered for future researchers who wish to recreate or adapt the testing setup for their own examinations of additively manufactured componentry.
