Design of dual arm robot manipulator for precision assembly of mechanical parts

Abstract

A new structure of dual arm robot manipulator which consists of two industrial 6-DOF arms and one 2-DOF Torso is introduced. This dual arm robot manipulator is designed for the assembly automation of the mechanical parts. Each industrial 6-DOF arm is able to be used as a stand-alone industrial 6-DOF robot manipulator and as a part of dual arm manipulator at the same time. These structures help the robot maker which is willing to succeed in the emerging dual arm robot market have the high competition for the current industrial robot market and the emerging dual arm robot market at same time.
