Smart manufacturing concepts are being integrated into all areas of manufacturing
industries, from the device level (eg, intelligent sensors) to the efficient coordination of …

Transforming the manufacturing environment from manually operated production units to
unsupervised robotic machining centres requires a presence of reliable in-process …

Control of robotic mold polishing is considered in this paper. CAD/CAM-based position/force
controller that simultaneously performs stable force control and exact pick feed control along …

The monograph considers fundamental problems related to force control, discusses
practical problems in force control. It contains some explanations how to design efficient …

The learning control is applied to hybrid force and position control of robot manipulators.
When the geometry and position of a constraint surface is known, the hybrid force and …

A significant portion of the total manufacturing time for a die or mold is spent on polishing
operations following primary machining and grinding of scallops left by primary machining …

Robotic belt grinding systems can be used not only to replace low efficiency, high pollution
manual finishing operations but also to improve production rate and manufacturing flexibility …

An intelligent controller, which consists of an intelligent planner and an adaptive fuzzy
neural position/force controller, is proposed for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller …

This paper describes a method for finishing cast iron stamping dies. The task is to remove
tool marks in the form of grooves and cusps left by a ball-end milling tool. The bottoms of the …

Describes the development of an adaptive force controller for the grinding process. Using a
real-time grinding model an adaptive pole-zero cancellation technique is developed and …
