Contributions to Contact Modeling and Identification and Optimal Robot Motion Planning (Bijdragen tot modellering en identificatie van contact en optimale bewegingsplanning voor robots) KU Leuven
Industrial robots are widely used as flexible, re-programmable positioning devices in manufacturing plants, and allow to save costs, increase productivity and raise quality. However, they still present capital intensive investments. Therefore, increasing their autonomy and efficiency are topics of ongoing research. With the increasing availability of cheap computation power and low-cost sensors, considerable gains in efficiency and autonomy can ...
