Abstract

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Remote Centre Compliance (IRCC) as a Means of Intelligent Position Feedback for a Construction Robot Glen Bright, Craig Duebler Pages 719-723 (1999 Proceedings of the 16th ISARC, Madrid, Spain, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: An intelligent Remote Centre Compliance (IRCC) system integrates manipulator position sensors into the robots control routine. The feedback provided gives the robot the ability to react to its environment. With the improvement in the robot's ability to interact with its surroundings, the manipulator becomes self-aware making it more efficient by providing a means of self-optirnisation. In a construction site environment, where man and machine have to work in close proximity, safety is also improved significantly by robot self-awareness. The IRCC is also used as a design tool to develop unique and specialised compliance devices, which have deformation characteristics optirnised for particular tasks, which improves manipulator efficiency. This paper details the design of such an IRCC system for a construction robot.
