Industrial robots form an integral part of today's manufacturing industry, due to their high
versatility, precision, and fatigue proof nature. Yet, many small and medium sized …

Within the next decades, robots will need to be able to execute a large variety of tasks
autonomously in a large variety of environments. To relax the resulting programming effort, a …

The purpose of this research was to identify trending topics, emerging themes, and future
research areas in flexible manufacturing in the digital era. It includes a synthesis of 51 …

As the COVID-19 pandemic expands, the shortening of medical equipment is swelling. A key
piece of equipment getting far-out attention has been ventilators. The difference between …

Typical industrial workcells are composed of a plenitude of devices from various
manufacturers, which rely on their own specific control interfaces. To reduce setup and …

For path planning problems based on Rapidly exploring Random Trees (RRT), most new
nodes merely explore the environment unless they are sampled directly from the subset that …

With growing evidence of big data-driven algorithmic governance in sustainable smart
manufacturing, there is an essential demand for comprehending robotic process and …

When robots interact with humans in homes, roads, or factories the human's behavior often
changes in response to the robot. Non-stationary humans are challenging for robot learners …

This paper investigates the problem of collaborative robotic car-painting using a team of
industrial manipulators that can be heterogeneous. Given the CAD model of the car, a …

This paper presents an approach to describe abilities of manufacturing resources by a
formal description of capabilities using Semantic Web technologies. A hierarchical ontology …
