Abstract
Purpose
Aims to demonstrate how an automated robot program generation method can be developed and implemented.
Design/methodology/approach
A visual and force servoing method to automatically generate robot paths and robot programs, based on position, force and vision sensor fusion, was developed.
Findings
By using a hybrid control algorithm the robot is controlled to follow the feature on a surface with position and orientation control.
Originality/value
The developed method can be applied to generate tool paths for many manufacturing tasks automatically, which can greatly reduce the robot programming time and decrease the manufacturing cost.
