With the increasing involvement of industrial robots in manufacturing processes, the demand
for high quality robots has increased considerably. A high-quality robot is a robot having …

This paper addresses the problem of path tracking of industrial robots. The main idea is to
correct a preplanned path through an iterative learning control (ILC) method. Instead of …

The predictive maintenance of industrial machines is one of the challenging applications in
the new era of Industry 4.0. Thanks to the predictive capabilities offered by the emerging …

In this paper, we present new computationally efficient and robust kinematic calibration
algorithms for industrial robots that make use of partial measurements. These include a …

Quality control in advanced manufacturing requires automated and high-accuracy large-
scale 3D measurement. This paper proposes a high-accuracy, low-cost 3D scanning system …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of a laser tracker, a laser
interferometer system and a telescopic ballbar for assessing the positioning performance of …

This paper proposes a kinematic calibration method based on the optimized distance error
function to improve the accuracy of the relative positions of industrial robots. For …

Industrial robots offer a cheaper yet more flexible alternative to the CNC machines in the
cleaning and pre-machining applications of automotive aluminum castings. But the low …

Multiaxis machining (eg, milling) of large aerospace structures is typically carried out using
large monument scale expensive computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. In …

Calibration in the robot-assisted belt grinding of complex blades is regarded as one of the
key bottlenecks of measurement accuracy. To enhance the accuracy, a TCP-based (tool …
