: Partial liquid pouring is a very useful task in many environments; however, it is still a very challenging task for autonomous mobile robots. In this work, is presented a geometric approach to accurately partial pouring by autonomous robots. While diverse approaches propose to deal with this problem measuring liquid’s volume at destination container, in this work is analyzed the geometry and initial volume of liquid at pouring container, i.e., liquid’s volume and container characteristics are known. Then based on the transversal sections volumes’ is proposed to control pouring. Proposed approach computes the cross-section areas formed by liquid in the container when this is tilted an angle θ . The geometric analysis shows that an angle-based linear control does not guarantee a regular flow to perform an accurate liquid control, since cross-sectional volumes have not linear relation with the angle θ when tilted. As it is show in this work, these volumes increase and decrease according to the tilted angle and the container characteristics. To effectively obtain a regular flow those volumes should be considered in the control phase as here is proposed.

: Production technology is characterized by the use of electromechanical feed axes, for which the concept of cascade control has become established. The concept is based on linear control engineering. It is not suitable for the control of process forces, which is associated with nonlinearities. Here, adaptive control algorithms from the field of higher control engineering represent a promising approach for improvements of manufacturing strategies and processes in terms of stability, quality, and efficiency. This can also ensure in reducing the number of parts rejected due to bad quality and thus aiding as a significant economic benefit. In this paper, the development of an adaptive control concept that automatically reacts to different and changing environmental conditions during the process is presented. The digital, parameter-adaptive controller consists of a recursive online parameter estimation unit, the controller design procedure, which is based on the setting rule for the symmetric optimum, and the control algorithm. The functionality of the adaptive control concept is demonstrated in simulation and validated by means of experiments on a test setup. It is real-time capable and implemented directly on the machine control together with all calculation algorithms.

Lower limbs exoskeletons provide assistance during standing, squatting, and walking. Gait dynamics, in particular, implies a change in the configuration of the device in terms of contact points, actuation, and system dynamics in general. In order to provide a comfortable experience and maximize performance, the exoskeleton should be controlled smoothly and in a transparent way, which means respectively, minimizing the interaction forces with the user and jerky behavior due to transitions between different configurations. A previous study showed that a smooth control of the exoskeleton can be achieved using a gait phase segmentation based on joint kinematics. Such a segmentation system can be implemented as linear regression and should be personalized for the user after a calibration procedure. In this work, a nonlinear segmentation function based on neural networks is implemented and compared with linear regression. An on-line implementation is then proposed and tested with a subject.

: In this paper, a suitable measurement setup is presented and applied to conduct force and pressure measurements for transient contact cases with the shoulder at the example of lathe machine tending. Empirical measurements were executed on a selected collaborative robot’s behavior regarding allowable operating speeds under consideration of sensor sensitivity, robot collision geometry, and damping materials. Comparisons between the theoretic calculations proposed in ISO/TS 15066 and the practical measurement results present a basis for future research. With the created database, preliminary risk assessment and economic assessment procedures of collaborative machine tending cells can be facilitated.

Engineering efforts are one of the major cost factors in today’s industrial automation systems. We present a configuration system, which grants a reduced obligation of engineering effort. Through self-learning the configuration system can adapt to various tasks by actively learning about its environment. We validate our configuration system using a robotic perception system, specifically a picking application. Perception systems for robotic applications become increasingly essential in industrial environments. Today, such systems often require tedious configuration and design from a well trained technician. These processes have to be carried out for each application and each change in the environment. Our robotic perception system is evaluated on the BOP benchmark and consists of two elements. First, we design building blocks, which are algorithms and datasets available for our configuration algorithm. Second, we implement agents (configuration algorithms) which are designed to intelligently interact with our building blocks. On an examplary industrial robotic picking problem we show, that our autonomous engineering system can reduce engineering efforts.
