Parts Feeding on a Conveyor with a One Joint Robot
This paper explores a method of manipulating a planar rigid part on a conveyor belt using a robot with just one joint. This approach has the potential of offering a simple and fle...

Toppling Manipulation
This paper describes a robotic manipulation primitive called toppling--knocking a part over. We derive the mechanical conditions for toppling, express these as constraints on robo...

Modeling and Throughput Prediction for Flexible Parts Feeders
In this paper we illustrate a methodology for modeling and analyzing flexible feeders using generalized semi-Markov process (GSMP) models. Working through the simple case consisti...

Micro-Parts Feeding by a Saw-tooth Surface
Abstract— This paper examines the novel use of a sawtooth surface with simple planar and symmetric vibration for unidirectional micro-parts feeding. In micro-parts feeding, to dr...

On the design of traps for feeding 3D parts on vibratory tracks
In the context of automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts, we study the algorithmic design of traps in the bowl feeder track that filter out all but one orientation of ...
