Abstract :
The long term success of the robotics industry depends on the growth in non-automotive markets. This paper presents the recent efforts in developing force control enabled technologies for a new set of applications that include assembly, polishing, deburring and milling. For each process, a force control based solution was provided to address the specific problem inherent in that process, and verified through experimental results and real life industrial applications.
