摘要:
A method of assembling a component includes gripping a first subcomponent with a first end-of-arm tool and grasping a second subcomponent with a second end-of-arm tool. The first tool is attached to a first robot arm and the first subcomponent defines a first plurality of locating holes. The second tool is attached to a second robot arm and the second subcomponent defines a second plurality of locating holes. After grasping, the method includes aligning at least one of the first locating holes adjacent to at least one of the second locating holes to set an initial position of the second subcomponent with respect to the first subcomponent without releasing the first and second subcomponents. After aligning, the method includes forming a joint between the first and second subcomponents with a joining tool attached to a joining robot arm to thereby assemble the component. A component assembly system is also disclosed.

Drilling apparatus and method, the apparatus comprising: a first robot (10); a first member (30) (e.g. a pressure foot) and a drilling tool (38) both coupled to the first robot (10); a second robot (12); and a second member (52) coupled to the second robot (12); wherein the apparatus is arranged to press the members (30, 52) against opposite sides of a part to be drilled (2, 100) (e.g. an aircraft panel) so as to hold the part (2, 100) and prevent deflection of at least a portion of the part (2, 100); and the first member (30) and the drilling tool (38) are arranged such that the drilling tool (38) may drill into the portion of the part (2, 100) of which deflection is opposed from the side of the part (2, 100) pressed against by the first member (30). The robots (10, 12) may be robotic arms.

Disclosed are a robot, which performs cooperative work with a plurality of robot manipulators through impedance control, and a method of controlling cooperative work of the robot. The method includes calculating absolute coordinate positions of end effectors, respectively provided at a plurality of manipulators to perform the work; calculating a relative coordinate position from the absolute coordinate positions of the end effectors; calculating joint torques of the plurality of manipulators using the relative coordinate position; and controlling the cooperative work of the plurality of manipulators according to the joint torques.

A robot system includes a robot, and a robot controller configured to control operation of the robot. The robot includes two arms including tools at their tip ends, and a body that supports the two arms and allows them to swing. The robot controller controls the robot so as to keep the tool provided at the tip end of at least one arm of the two arms at the same position in the same posture during a time period between before and after a swing.
