Title
Unimanual Assembly By Deformation And Insertion
Abstract
We consider the problem of joining two parts by deformation and insertion. After its decomposition into a sequence of assembly primitives (AP) that include deformation, folding, deformation relaxation and insertion, a single controller of hybrid force/position type is developed to guarantee the successful completion of each assembly primitive, while avoiding the appearance of irregularities and discontinuities in the application of the AP-sequence. Initially, the joining parts are assumed to be in contact. Further key properties of the designed controller are i) contact is preserved throughout assembly; ii) excessive contact forces that may lead to damaging the joining parts, are avoided. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed methodology is tested via experiments using a KUKA LWR4+ robotic manipulator.
