Abstract

This case study demonstrates how to synthesize re-calibration procedures in a relatively easy way using a learning approach. Flexible assembly systems require fast and autonomous re-calibration procedures — and learning approaches offer several appealing advantages. Several aspects which are relevant for industrial assembly are taken into account in the presented experiments: (1) use of real-world objects, in this case a light switch, (2) assembly with an industrial robot and (3) the presence of tolerances.
