Abstract In modern manufacturing, assembly tasks are a major challenge for robotics. In the manufacturing industry, a wide range of insertion tasks can be found, from peg-in-hole insertion to electronic parts assembly. Robotic stations designed for this problem often use conventional hybrid force-position control to perform preprogrammed trajectories, such as e.g. a spiral path. However, electronic parts require more sophisticated techniques due to their complex geometry and susceptibility to damage. Production line assembly tasks require high robustness to initial position and rotation variations due to component grip imperfections. Robustness to partially obscured camera view is also mandatory due to multi stage assembly process. We propose a stereo-view method based on reinforcement learning (RL) for the robust assembly of electronic parts. Applicability of our method to real-world production lines is verified through test scenarios. Our approach is the most robust to applied perturbations of all tested methods and can potentially be transferred to environments unseen during learning.

Abstract By utilizing only depth information, the paper introduces a novel two-stage planning approach that enhances computational efficiency and planning performances for memoryless local planners. First, a depth-based sampling technique is proposed to identify and eliminate a specific type of in-collision trajectories among sampled candidates. Specifically, all trajectories that have obscured endpoints are found through querying the depth values and will then be excluded from the sampled set, which can significantly reduce the computational workload required in collision checking. Subsequently, we apply a tailored local planning algorithm that employs a direction cost function and a depth-based steering mechanism to prevent the robot from being trapped in local minima. Our planning algorithm is theoretically proven to be complete in convex obstacle scenarios. To validate the effectiveness of our DEpth-based both Sampling and Steering (DESS) approaches, we conducted experiments in simulated environments where a quadrotor flew through cluttered regions with multiple various-sized obstacles. The experimental results show that DESS significantly reduces computation time in local planning compared to the uniform sampling method, resulting in the planned trajectory with a lower minimized cost. More importantly, our success rates for navigation to different destinations in testing scenarios are improved considerably compared to the fixed-yawing approach.
