Robotics in intelligent manufacturing: IMPAQT activities

摘要

The Center for Intelligent Manufacturing, Processing, and Quality Technologies (IMPAQT) at Drexel University was established to integrate education, research, and technology transfer in technical and business fields which are associated with intelligent manufacturing and processing. A report on some of the Center's ongoing robotics activities is presented. Projects described are: (1) interpretation of redundant kinematic parameters in robotic manipulator calibration algorithms, (2) brushless motors for direct-drive robots and numerically controlled machines, (3) a robot control laboratory, (4) computer-based control and intelligent control systems and (5) a robot dynamics laboratory.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
