Y. Edan et Sy. Nof, GRAPHIC-BASED ANALYSIS OF ROBOT MOTION ECONOMY PRINCIPLES, Robotics and computer-integrated manufacturing, 12(2), 1996, pp. 185-193
Performance of robotic systems depends on the robot design, its motion
s and the workcell set-np. Robot motion economy principles can provide
important design guidelines to optimize the overall automation in rob
otic work systems. This work presents graphic-based analysis of the pe
rformance of 10 different robots in four classes and three group sizes
for 27 different bin locations (positions and orientations). This ext
ensive analysis and evaluation lead to several conclusive results conc
erning motion economy principles related to design of robotic workcell
