Abstract
Part complexity increase the ratio of manual tasks on machine tools, i.e. feeding, to maintain high productivity. Mobile robot cells automate these tasks but require cost-intensive retrofittings for additional interfaces. This paper focuses on a new mobile robot cell without any mechanical or electrical connection to the machine tool. Therefore, the solution uses a camera system for wireless machine tool localization and signal transmission.
