From layout variants, the one most suitable is picked. Chosen variant contains proper clamping solution as well as deburring tool and safety requirements. The concept design of robotic deburring cell in 3D visualization is the result of this diploma thesis.

Robot selection is one of critical decisions in the design of robotic workcells. Over the last ten years, many Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems have been developed to solve decision making problems successfully. We propose to develop three sort systems: browsing systems, preference-based selection organizers, and alternative suggestion agents. All four stages of the CBR cycle are designed to assist robotic application designers to go through robot selection and decision-making. A case-based reasoning approach is employed to solve new robot selection decision problems by adapting solutions that were used to solve previous robot selection problems. In this study, CBR has shown that it has several advantages over other techniques. The results of this study will help robot workcell designers to develop a more efficient and effective method to select robots for specific robot applications.

The task of this master thesis is to design a robotic workcell for an automation of the production machine operation followed by robotic deburring of the parts within external pneumatic tools. There is chosen the most suitable concept of the workplace layout of its included sub-components based on the input parameters. The first part is dedicated to design or select sub-components of the workcell as input magazine, robots, end effectors, deburring station etc. Afterwards, there is created a simulation model of the workcell in Process Simulate software for the verification of demanded cycle times and workcell functionality. The final design has to meet safety standards and technical and economical evaluation is permormed at the end of the thesis.

The master thesis deals with design of a robotic workcell for the operating of CNC lathe. The material input is realized by bin picking technology. The first part is an overview of related industries. Three variants of the workcell layout were created in the second part and the most suitable variant was selected. Selected variant is further elaborated, including 3D models of the workplace parts and drawings. The functionality of the designed workcell is checked by Siemens Process Simulate software simulation. The technical and economical evaluation is performed at the final part of the thesis.

This article describes the development of a component-based technology robot system that can be rapidly configured to perform a specific manufacturing task. The system is conceived with standard and inter-operable components including actuator modules, rigid link connectors and tools that can be assembled into robots with arbitrary geometry and degrees of freedom. The reconfigurable "plug-and-play" robot kinematic and dynamic modeling algorithms are developed. These algorithms are the basis for the control and simulation of reconfigurable robots. The concept of robot configuration optimization is introduced for the effective use of the rapidly reconfigurable robots. Control and communications of the workcell components are facilitated by a workcell-wide TCP/IP network and device level CAN-bus networks. An object-oriented simulation and visualization software for the reconfigurable robot is developed based on Windows NT. Prototypes of the robot systems configured to perform 3D contour following task and the positioning task are constructed and demonstrated. Applications of such systems for biomedical tissue scaffold fabrication are considered. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)

This master‘s thesis is about the digital commissioning of a robotic production system for a machine tool tending. The initial research describes the current state of the art in the field of industrial robotics. Their types and possibilities are followed by the types and SW capabilities for digital commissioning. The system analysis of the robotic work cell. The practical part of this thesis describes the creation of the digital model and SW design. At the end of the thesis is performed virtual testing of the robotic system.

This master's thesis focuses on the use of the Renishaw's Equator gauging system in cooperation with the industrial robot. The target is to design the robotized workcell which contains these two products. Robot acts as a manipulator for inserting and sorting out the workpieces into the "good" and "bad" pallets according to measured results from the Equator. Equator uses a parallel kinematics and probing system which is normally used on coordinate measuring machines. Therefore there is the introduction to the parallel and serial kinematic structures, to the problems of the coordinate measuring machines in the first part of this thesis. It was made a separation of the probing systems into a few basic categories, description of the typical representatives of these categories and of the other important accessories of the coordinate measuring machines, too. The second part of the thesis contains a description of the Equator gauging system, the industrial robot which I used and their accessories. In this part is mentioned a few examples of measurement automation in industry practice, too. The third part devotes to the design of the robotized workcell and contains all the important requirements for the realization.
