Abstract: A robot is used to repeatedly assemble parts during a continuous production run of parts to be assembled. There are parameters of the robot associated with the assembly. These parameters are used to assemble the parts. Simultaneously with that repeated assembly the robot parameters are optimized. The parts to be assembled have a starting position for the assembly and the simultaneous optimization of the robot assembly parameters also includes the learning of the starting position. The robot assembly parameters can be optimized in a predefined manner. The optimized parameters can then be verified and the optimized and verified robot assembly parameters may then be used in place of the parameters of the robot associated with the parts assembly along with the learned starting position.

Abstract: A robot is used to pick parts from a bin. The robot has a compliant apparatus and one or more tools are connected to the apparatus to perform the picking. The compliant apparatus has mechanisms for monitoring and/or controlling its compliance. The compliant apparatus can have various embodiments. Force sensing can be used during removal of grasped parts from the bin to determine the force exerted on the picking tool(s). The signal indicative of the exerted force can be used by the robot controller to determine the weight of the parts that may be held by the picking tool(s). The robot has one or more devices which can be the picking tool to stir the parts in the bin.

Abstract: A method for adapting a ground fault detection to a change of an electrical machine condition, wherein the machine includes a winding. The electrical machine is in a first machine condition, a first reference value being defined for measured values of an electrical quantity. The ground fault detection includes continuously measuring the electrical quantity in the winding and detecting a ground fault based on the measured values of the electrical quantity and the first reference value. The method includes receiving a signal, detecting a change of machine condition based on the received signal, and changing to a second reference value for the measured values of the electrical quantity, the second reference value being different from the first reference value when the change of machine condition is detected.

Abstract: A breaker failure protection system for a high voltage direct current, HVDC, circuit breaker is provided. The circuit breaker is arranged for interrupting a DC circuit upon reception of a trip signal. The protection system includes a current sensor, at least one inductor, and a breaker failure detection unit. The current sensor is arranged for measuring a current I(t) through the DC circuit. The at least one inductor is connected in series with the DC circuit. The breaker failure detection unit is arranged for assessing, whether the circuit breaker has failed, and sending, if the circuit breaker has failed, a trip signal to an adjacent circuit breaker. The assessment is based on the measured current. The stability of HVDC grids may be improved by sending, in case of a breaker failure, a trip signal to adjacent circuit breakers. Further, a method of breaker failure protection for an HVDC circuit breaker is provided.
