Abstract

A robotic cell for deburring planar polygonal objects is described. The object comes from a conveyor and arrives in a random position on a parallel manipulator. Its center of mass is located through the measurements of a 6-componants force sensor, it is then grasped and a force-feedback scheme is used to fix the object on a special plate. Then a probing algorithm is used to discover the location of the vertices of the object with a minimal number of measurements. The coordinates of the vertices are then used to build an ideal reference model of the object which is fed to a force-feedback scheme which perform the deburring of the object.
