Performance Evaluation of Industrial Dual-Arm Robot

Abstract

To evaluate the performance characteristics of the developed dual-arm robot, the evaluation methods of motion characteristics of pose and path of dual-arm robot are studied and the results of performance evaluation are given. The evaluation method and item of motion performance such as payload, repeatability, maximum speed and position accuracy are studied and described. Because of the special provisions of repeatability of dual-arm robot are not given in ISO 9283, the evaluations of it are performed in based on the provisions of repeatability of single-arm robot. Generally, although there are no specifications of the position accuracy of robot movement, in this study the developed dual-arm robot is tested by using the provision of distance precision of ISO. Related to this, there are several problems of measurement of moving distance and definition of robot coordinate system. The evaluation method of payload is performed by measuring of the deflection of static payload because there is no special provision of payload in ISO. As there are no special provisions related to dual-arm robot in ISO 9283, the establishment of new provision of dual-arm robot is needed in near future.

Handling gripper system for pre-coated metal sheet

“…When the gripper to be mounted on end effector is designed the characteristics of metal sheet is considered. The economic loss occurs when the operator changes the gripper for each different shape of metal sheet [3,4,5,6].…”

Power assistance system of working habiliments type for painting worker in ship building

“…The working velocity is defined as the velocity of painting tools to move in working path and it is closely related with the productivity of painting work. The working load is defined as the total force to be pulled and pushed at end of the working habiliment system or to be hanged on it [7,8].…”

Design and Testing of Wireless Motion Gauges for Two Collaborative Robot Arms

“…Time synchronization errors could be due to: 1) different robot controllers, 2) different kinematic algorithms, 3) processing time differences, etc. The performance of symmetrical coordinated-motion tasks has been evaluated in various ways: 1) software simulation [5], [6], and 2) independent external sensors, such as laser trackers [9], [10], telescoping ball bars [11], 12], and motion-tracking systems [13], [14]. A laser tracker interferometer consists of a laser interferometer, a gimbal system, and a reflector.…”
