1P1-F03 Pick-and-Place Tasks Application by Energy Saving Control Methods of Adjustable Stiffness(Robots for Works)

Abstract

Energy saving control methods for robots had been proposed. In the proposed methods, an adaptive elastic mechanism is effectively utilized. This paper shows that the proposed control methods can be applied to pick-and-place tasks of a SCARA robot. It is experimentally demonstrated that high energy efficiency has been achieved in pick-and-place tasks.
