Abstract

Uncertainties encountered in part positioning and variations in part dimensions have motivated the use of sensor feedback control in robot assembly. This paper presents a fuzzy logic based system which interprets the forces and torques generated by a force/torque sensor mounted on a robotic wrist, and controls the execution of robotic assembly tasks. Techniques from the field of fuzzy decision making are applied to the force/torque feedback to monitor the mating of parts by a robot. An example is presented that addresses the problems of inserting a printed circuit board into a card cage. The fuzzy rules that are used to interpret the force/torque readings are discussed and the experimental results are presented.
