Abstract
This paper describes the development of a robotic assembly system for the assembly of consumer products in the food and personal care industry. Most commercially available manipulators are equipped with PID motion controllers which are suited for pick-and-place operations. Here we considered assembly of products under conditions of geometric deviations, a task for which PID controllers are less suited. The feasibility of such assembly tasks was investigated using an industrial manipulator provided with an impedance controller. Results indicate that a proper set of product related impedances enables the system to cope with relatively large positioning errors, resulting in more reliable assembly.
