Collaborative Robot

-Research Background

  • Various tasks for service to humans are required for collaborative robot.
  • A multi-DOF manipulator is needed for dexterous manipulation.


- Research Objectives

  • Development of a multi-DOF collaborative robot
  • Compact and lightweight design


- Simulation and design of collaborative robot

  • Dynamic simulation: torque and moment load of each joint
  • Manipulability analysis: operation angle of each joint
  • FEM analysis: lightweight structure

 

- Research Output
