The application of intelligent active force control of a robot manipulator in surface finishing processes

In manufacturing, and industrial robot is often used to manipulate objects (work pieces) either in free or constrained environments. The latter is more critical since it involves significant interaction of forces between the robot's end-effector, object and its surrounding which can directly af...
