In this paper we present research and development results that have lead to a fully automated fabrication cell with two robots, that in one integrated step can produce unique double curved steel reinforcement structures with sizes up to 2 times 2 meters. Input is a computer-aided design description of the reinforcement bar layout. The reinforcement bars are bent and transported to the structure by...
To understand the capabilities and behavior of a robot it is important to have knowledge about its physical structure and how its actuators control its shape. In this paper we analyze the kinematics and develop a general representation of a configuration of the heterogeneous modular robot Odin. The basics of estimating the shape of the Odin robot is presented, which leads the way for further research...
We present a roadmap based planner for finding robot motions for gantry mounted manipulators for a line welding application at Odense steel shipyard (OSS). The robot motions are planned subject to constraints on when the gantry may be moved. We show that random sampling of gantry configurations is a viable technique for positioning the manipulator and present a pruning technique for managing the growth...
In this paper we present a new concept for gripping objects in industrial applications. We assume that a priori, the object pose is only known with a relative low accuracy. Despite this, our method can lead to high accuracy gripping suitable for e.g. industrial assembly. Our concept is to augment a simple parallel gripper by mounting a set of object specific jaws. Given the right shapes these jaws...
This paper presents a framework for representing a large and relevant class of industrial multi-robot task scheduling problems. Given a set of tasks and a set of robots and other resources our objective is to schedule the execution of the tasks such that the makespan of the schedule is minimized. Resource availability and a partially constrained sequence ordering is considered during scheduling as...
