IT Assembly Process Gripper Real-Time Embedded System Design

Abstract:

In this paper we propose the gripper handle real-time based embedded system for operating robot manipulator. The general gripper has only a simple function and has also I/O module. Thus general gripper and position based robot controller combination is not suitable for precision process operation, IT assembly process. In order to give various functions and intelligence to the gripper, it is necessary to have an embedded controller that real-time guarantees. The proposed embedded system have five component that handle the pose of the gripper, measure the pose and translation of gripper, motoring the gripping tip, operate the stiffness of the gripper and communicate with Ethernet interface to the external robot controller. The external robot interface parts are supported to communicate with various external robot maker, KUKA, DENSO, ROBOSTAR etc. The validation and functional ability is tested on the LAB environment.
