Autokinematics - Robotics and Industrial Automation Materials, Books and Articles

Welcome to Autokinematics! - Industrial Automation And Robotics


Globalisation and fast growing Technology developments increasingly influences automation in industry. And, it plays an important role in the global economy and in our daily lives. The most effective and visible part of modern Industrial automation is the industrial robotics. Fully automated process control Robots have contributed greatly to improve the productivity of virtually all manufacturing industries throughout the world. The primary objective of this site is to recommend industry standard and the best selected books from amazon for the beginners to experts and to give free technical materials and articles in latest technology.

To add more value, we also included robots and latest automation galleries, news, related videos and automation products. Overall, we would like to provide valuable information about robotics, modern trends in Industrial Automation and useful books, articles and technical materials.

Augmented reality

Augmented reality(AR) is a technology which makes it possible to enhance capability to human machine interaction in the real world, and it is expected to improve operationality of robots. In this paper, we introduce Robotic Applications which was developed in our laboratory using AR technology. Read more...

Autonomous robots

In order to build Autonomous robots that can carry out useful work in unstructured environments new approaches have been developed to building intelligent systems. The relationship to traditional academic Robotics and traditional artificial intelligence is examined. In the new approaches a tight coupling of sensing to action produces architectures for intelligence that are networks of simple computational elements which are quite broad, but not very deep. Recent work within this approach has demonstrated the use of representations, expectations, plans, goals, and learning, but without resorting to the traditional uses, of central, abstractly manipulable or symbolic representations. Perception within these systems is often an active process, and the dynamics of the interactions with the world are extremely important. The question of how to evaluate and compare the new to traditional work still provokes vigorous discussion. Read more...

Calibration of Industrial Robots

Today?s developments in Industrial robots focus on aims like gain of flexibility, improvement of the interactionbetween Robots and reduction of down-times. A very important method to achieve these goals are off-line Programming techniques. In contrast to conventional teach-in Robot programming techniques, where sequences of actionsare defined step-by-step via remote control on the real object, off-line programming techniques design completerobot (inter-)action programs in a CAD/CAM environment. This poses high requirements to the geometric accuracyof a robot. While the repeatability of robot poses in the teach-in mode is often better than 0.1mm, the absolutepose accuracy potential of industrial robots is usually much worse due to tolerances, eccentricities, elasticities,play, wear-out, load, temperature and insufficient knowledge of model parameters for the transformation fromposes into robot axis angles. This fact necessitates robot Calibration Techniques including the formulation of a robot model describing kinematics and dynamics of the robot, and a measurement technique to provide reference data. Digital photogrammetry as an accurate, economic technique with realtime potential offers itself for this purpose. Read more...
