Abstract: The quality of parts produced by a composite tape-laying process is sensitive to the contact force exerted and the abutment of adjacent tape courses kept when the tapes are laid. Thus, a ...

Abstract: The calibration scheme of robot forward kinematics presented in this paper has a number of features. Firstly, robot kinematic errors are modeled in a recursive format and as such, the number ...

Abstract: Sensor fusion often uses multiple sensors to evaluate a single quantity. The work presented in this paper attempts to use information from a single sensor to estimate overall machining performance ...

Abstract: Although considerable effort has gone into characterizing the laser forming process in terms of process parameters and conditions, there has been little emphasis on the effects of the mechanical ...
