Sensor device for intuitively manipulating the heavy material-handling robot

Abstract

As the conditions of working environment at the construction site cannot be typified, intelligence of robot system is considered to be the best solution for a lack of uniformity and homogeneity such as various kinds of unexpected situations or conditions. Precise finishing quality of robot system, pre-fabrication system of construction materials, and undisturbed material circulation system also remains unsolved problems, up to now. Human-robot cooperation technology based applications have been come up for several decades to combine the human's advanced neural system with robot's enhanced physical performance. This study proposes the newly-designed sensor device for intuitively manipulating the heavy material-handling robot system through the analysis of conventional method. And the feasibility of virtual coordinate generation algorithm and performance evaluation of the proposed system is verified through the experiments and field-test. © 2014 IEEE.
