On the design of intelligent robotic agents for assembly

A novel approach for multi-agent-based Intelligent Manufacturing System

“…(5) The auxiliary time of mechanical processing for different procedures is different, which is included in mechanical processing time. (6) The delay time of workers and robots shall be neglected [21].…”

On-line knowledge acquisition and enhancement in robotic assembly tasks

“…Accordingly, a robotic agent should emerge from the interaction between the real-world and the robot manipulator itself. This agent should demonstrate its "intelligence" by using new knowledge, refine and apply it autonomously during skill learning showing the required skill during real world tasks as demonstrated by Lopez-Juarez et al [8]. The research is founded on previous approach by Lopez-Juarez in terms of creating intelligent robotic agents for assembly using force sensing in conjunction with an image processing method called the boundary object function (BOF) to describe invariantly an object using object's features as initially presented by Peña Cabrera et al [9].…”

Analysis of the optimal orientation of robot gripper for an improved capability assembly process

“…In the automatic assembly process, and particularly in the robotic one, many devices are used to ensure the correct parts mating process in the product and to increase the productivity and safety. Such equipment can be subdivided into passive [8,9] and active [10,11] devices to support the mating process.…”
