Cooperation of two manipulators in assembly tasks

  • Chapter
Computing Techniques for Robots

Abstract

This paper deals with the use of two manipulators, working together in assembly tasks, and tries to show the significance of their cooperation. It surveys some different examples of such a cooperation: kinematic problems are examined. The paper then presents experiments that have been carried out with two compliant arms; the solutions used are also developed. At the end of the paper, problems set by using two manipulators are briefly described.
