Abstract

In recent years, a jig-less robotic assembly system is desired as a lean production system in the manufacturing industry. In jig-less assembly, it is assumed that parts are supplied on a parts tray. However, if the parts are placed in a corner of the tray or along the partitions of the tray, it is difficult to grasp the parts with a versatile robotic hand due to the interference between the fingers of the hand and the tray. In this paper, we address this issue for a cylindrical part, which is frequently handled in actual assembly tasks, and propose a method to plan a robust grasping strategy of the part against the uncertainty in its position, utilizing pushing operation with a versatile robotic hand with parallel stick fingers.
