Résumé

Mobile manipulators can be effective, efficient, and flexible for automation on the factory floor but will need safety and performance standards for wide adoption. This paper looks at a specific area of performance standards [1] for docking and workpiece registration, with the intent of evaluating how quickly, repeatably, and accurately a mobile manipulator end effector can be aligned with a known physical target to facilitate peg-in-hole insertion tasks. To evaluate mobile manipulator docking, we conducted experiments with an automated guided vehicle (AGV)-mounted arm in a laboratory space equipped with an extensive optical tracking system and a standardized test piece (artifact) simulating an industrial assembly. We experimented with different strategies and sensors for registration and report on these approaches.
