Positioning accuracy in robotics is a key issue for the manufacturing process. One of the
possible ways to achieve high accuracy is the implementation of machine learning (ML) …

Robotic machining processes are characterised by errors arising from the limitations of the
industrial robots. These robot-related errors can compromise the overall manufacturing …

In the assembly of aircraft fuselages, manual hole drilling is conducted in some cases
instead of applying robotic drilling due to the issues of burr formation and vibration. In …

This paper presents a new methodology for controlling the jet penetration in abrasive
waterjet milling. The generation of milled parts by means of abrasive waterjet is traditionally …

In this paper, we consider iterative learning control for trajectory tracking of robotic
manipulator with uncertainty. An improved quadratic-criterion-based iterative learning …

The flexibility demands in manufacturing are severe, eg, for rapid-change-over to new
product variants, while robots are flexible machines that potentially can be adapted to a …

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to find news and research about robotic machining
applications, as milling and drilling. The flexibility, programmability and low price of robots …

Unbalance vibrations are crucial problems in heavy rotational machinery, especially for the
systems with high operation speed, like turbine machinery. For the program of 10 MW High …

Two main topics are considered in this thesis: Machining with industrial robot manipulators
and optimal motion control of robots and vehicles. The motivation for research on the first …

In this paper we exploit Iterative Learning Controllers (ILC) schemes in force adaptation
tasks. We propose to encode the control signal with Radial Basis Functions (RBF), which …
