Industrial robotics has grown considerably in recent years with new control strategies and the emergence of new technologies of sensor, collaborative robots and mobile robotic manipulators. These robots are very effective in low -volume and low mix manufacturing scenarios, products designed for automation or maintenance and monitoring tasks that are easy to automate. However, these applications often require a well-calibrated environment, can be difficult to program and redeploy, and are underused in partially organized or dynamic environments. Despite their evolutionary capacities, the optimization of operational conditions, the execution of complex tasks, the improvement of reconfigurability, the improvement of the interaction by the robot man and the simplification of the programming remain continuous challenges in the domain. Recent studies have shown promising results in the adaptation of commercial equipment for complex tasks, the use of new sensor technologies and the development of flexible manufacturing systems with mobile robotic manipulators. However, it is still necessary to seek more complete research to meet these challenges and fully exploit the potential of industrial robotics.
This research subject aims to present advanced developments in industrial, collaborative and mobile robotics in manufacturing, maintenance and surveillance contexts. The main objectives include the exploration of effective adaptations of commercial equipment to carry out complex tasks, by taking advantage of new sensor technologies, by developing flexible manufacturing systems using mobile robotic manipulators and by progressing techniques collaboration of human robot. In addition, research will focus on human skills transfer procedures to robot, the exploitation of automatic learning algorithms such as natural language treatment for simplified robot programming, advanced path planning and development of ‘A tool at the end of the arm. By approaching these objectives, research aims to overcome existing challenges and to push the limits of what is possible in industrial robotics.
