Abstract
Machine tool have traditionally been developed for the manufacture of new parts and to be operated in workshop environments. With a remit of addressing clearly defined tasks, the concepts/configurations of these are nowadays, somehow, standard. This perspective intends to flag up to the community the relatively unexplored topic of portable Robotised Machine (RoboMach) tools that address the need for in-situ maintenance and repair of industrial installations. By the immense variety of tasks that RoboMach are designed to fulfil, there is an open ground for exploring, at the confluence with other complementary research disciplines, novel machine tool configurations that could open fresh academic challenges.
