| Abstract: | In automated manufacturing, a robot/conveyor system uses a robot to pick up parts that continuously arrive from a moving conveyor. To improve system efficiency, a variable pick-up location approach directs the robot to pick up parts before they reach the end of conveyor at a fixed point. Simulation shows that the variable pick-up location approach consistently outperforms the conventional fixed pick-up method. Both cycle time and kinematic energy are reduced. The results may be used for robot system planning by providing guidelines to detailed trajectory planning. |
