Abstract

The coordination of two collaborative robots to handle and hold huge parts is the main topic of this research. This study shows how flexible systems may accommodate large-volume components while situating components with a displacement precision between robots of no more than 10 mm into the parts, with the assistance of a single operator. The robots must be able to keep the parts in place while coordinating their movements to handle the parts and reducing external stressors. This paper suggests using collaborative robots to integrate flexible tools for adaptability to various elements in order to accomplish this goal without endangering the operators. The software architecture is described in full in this paper, including machine states to choose task executions, robot referencing in the workspace, remote monitoring via the digital twin, generation paths, and distributed control using a high-level controller (HLC).
