Generating feasible robot motions in real-time requires achieving multiple tasks (ie,
kinematic requirements) simultaneously. These tasks can have a specific goal, a range of …

In automated fiber placement (AFP), addressing the continuous motion planning challenge
of redundant layup manipulators in complex environments, this paper proposes an offline …

This paper presents a novel resilient production problem in a multi-robot system (MRS)
driven smart factory that suffers diverse degradation of accuracy among heterogeneous …

Tool manipulation is a crucial skill for robots to perform intricate tasks, and learning from
demonstration methods can provide an effective means for robots to learn these skills …

Robots are being considered for performing external heating of components in
manufacturing applications. This paper presents a physics-aware action selection policy that …

The detection of faults during an operational process constitutes a crucial objective within
the framework of developing a control system to monitor the structure of industrial …

Many applications require a robot to accurately track reference end-effector trajectories.
Certain trajectories may not be tracked as single, continuous paths due to the robot's …

We explore task tolerances, ie, allowable position or rotation inaccuracy, as an important
resource to facilitate smooth and effective telemanipulation. Task tolerances provide a robot …

Industrial robots equipped with cutting or abrasive tools are becoming increasingly important
for manufacturing operations that require material removal. In these operations, the robot …

Robots are increasingly being considered for different manufacturing processing
applications. Completing the process efficiently and successfully requires using the right …
