The application of robots in mechanical assembly increases the efficiency of industrial
production. With the requirements of flexible manufacturing, it has become a research …

Snap-fit assemblies are widely used in the manufacturing of several product types, allowing
part joining, while the parts remain unprocessed. The locking mechanism of a snap-fit is …

This paper proposes a novel robotic gripper used for assembly tasks that can adaptively
grasp objects with different shapes. The proposed hand has a combined structure between …

This paper presents the application of a Bayesian nonparametric time-series model to
process monitoring and fault classification for industrial robotic tasks. By means of an …

The ability to detect failure during task execution and to recover from failure is vital for
autonomous robots performing tasks in previously unknown environments. In this paper, we …

A robotic assembly task is usually implemented as a sequence of simple motions, and the
transitions between the motions are made when some events occur. These events can …

This paper presents an integrated assembly and motion planning system to recursively find
the assembly sequence and motions to assemble two objects with the help of a horizontal …

Force sensing provides robots the capability to accomplish tasks where physical interaction
with the environment is required, such as assembly. Small position uncertainties can then be …

In this research, it is shown that robot joint torques can be used to recognize contact force
transients induced during robotic manipulation, thus detecting when a task is completed …

The use of dual arm robots for human like operations such as the peg-in-hole tasks can be
facilitated by learning contact states during manipulation. In this paper, we propose a control …
