Notes:
Develops a graphic simulation system in conjunction with a kinematicerror model to assist management in making investment decisions. UsesTaguchi-type experimental design to predict the robot processcapability. Two sets of charts are created by the system to representthe repeatability and accuracy of the robot performing a givenoperation. These charts are, first, histograms in the x, y, and zdirections and, second, scattered ellipses in the xy, yz, and xz planes.Central to the system are three characteristics: a description of thegeometric error and of the kinematic error; a common function to requestand display a robot moving from one position to the next; and a familyof charts showing the capability of the robot implementing a given task.The results provided by the system can help management to analyse robotprojects concerning robot selection and implement action in a moresystematic manner.
