Cable assisted robotic system (Funded by CFI)

  • Challenge : 50 times lower structural stiffness than that of CNC machine tools
  • Novelty: Installing an optimal configuration of cables at the robot/ Controlling the cable to track the robot’s movement
  • Outcome: 5~10 times stiffness improvement , Milling steel using the robot

Static deflection compensation of robotic machining (Funded by KITECH)

  • Challenge: Robot is easily deflected while machining
  • Novelty: Cutting force estimation using nonlinear disturbance observer & compliance error compensation
  • Outcome: 75% reduction of the static deflection
