Abstract: This paper presents novel algorithms and visualization tools for avoiding collisions and minimizing cycle time in multi-robot stations by velocity tuning of robot motions. These tools have the potential to support ...

Abstract: In the auto body assembly process, fixtures position parts during assembly and inspection. Variation in the positioning process propagates to the final assembly. To control the assembly fixtures, repeatability studies are ...

Abstract: Sheet metal assembly is investment intense. Therefore, the equipment needs to be efficiently utilized. The balancing of welds has a significant influence on achievable production rate and equipment utilization. Robot line ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present efficient algorithms for computation of the residual of the constrained discrete Euler–Lagrange (DEL) equations of motion for tree structured, rigid multibody systems. In particular, we present ...
