Cooperative 2-DOF robots for precision assembly

Abstract
A new configuration of cooperative 2-DOF robots ispresented for use in precision assembly applications.This configuration consists of direct drive planar linearmotors traveling on a tabletop platen stator surfacecombined with overhead 2-DOF manipulators. Weoutline desirable features of a precision assembly systemand use them to compare the proposed configurationto typical configurations that use 4-DOF robots.Advantages of the new approach are used to motivatefurther research needed to...
