Industrial Robotics

Unveiling the Power of Robotics: A Comprehensive Exploration of Cutting-Edge Robotics and Mechanical Engineering

Industrial Robotics Programming & Simulation — Kinematics, AI Integration, Safety Standards, and PLC Connectivity

This volume contains the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Robotics in Alpe-Adria-Danube Region, RAAD 2017, held at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, from June 21-23, 2017.

Robotics and intelligent systems are intricately connected, each exploring their respective capabilities and moving towards a common goal. In industry, it is common to see robotic systems aided by machine learning and vice versa in applications including robot navigation, grasping, human–robot interaction/collaboration, safety and team management, among others. Achievements targeting the industrial domain can be directly applied in robotic systems operating in other domains. While significant advances have been made in the last few years, industrial robotics and intelligent systems face several scientific and technological challenges related to their integration with other systems, interaction with humans, safety, flexibility, reconfigurability and autonomy. These challenges are especially relevant for robots operating in unstructured industrial environments and sharing a workspace with human coworkers and other robots.

In this book, a new approach to the Industry 4.0 revolution is given. This book presents chapters that propose a new outlook for an unstoppable revolution in industrial robotics, from drones to software robots.

This volume contains the proceedings of the RAAD 2018 conference, covering major areas of research and development in robotics. It provides an overview on the advances in robotics, more specifically in novel design and applications of robotic systems; dexterous grasping, handling and intelligent manipulation; intelligent cooperating and service robots; advanced robot control; human-robot interfaces; robot vision systems and visual serving techniques; mobile robots; humanoid and walking robots; field and agricultural robotics; bio-inspired and swarm robotic systems; developments towards micro and nano-scale robots; aerial, underwater and spatial robots; robot integration in holonic manufacturing; personal robots for ambient assisted living; medical robots and bionic prostheses; intelligent information technologies for cognitive robots etc.
The primary audience of the work are researchers as well as engineers in robotics and mechatronics.
