Titel
Approach for the use of climbing robots in shipbuilding
Abstract
To increase produktivity and quantity in the highly competitive, the modernisation of manufacturing processes is a important requirement. At present, assembly, inspection or maintenance tasks are mostly performed manually under difficult and demanding working conditions. To operate more efficiently, a prototype of a climbing robot system has been developed. The robot design is based on a robust construction of magnetic wheels, which allows a wide variety of different Tasks. To increase the efficiency of the robot applications the systems has to integrate planning, control and quality proof of manufacturing and inspection. Motion parameters and can be simulated off-line within a Computer Aided Process and Trajectory Planning System (CAPT).
