Abstract

With the emergence of dual-arm industrial robots lately, many robotic companies view dual-arm robots as main stream of industrial robots in the future and have begun research and development on them. The main objective of this work is to study dual-arm robotic manipulation issues on assembly tasks, involving the manipulation methods of dual-arm robots and how perception (integration of various kinds of sensors) and the feature of compliance (integration of hardware mechanism and online identification) are used to implement assembly tasks.
