    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forestry; forwarder cranes; semi-automation; slewing actuator; automated trajectory planning; oscillations; inner boom actuator; active vibration damping; frequency estimation; input shaping control technique; H2-optimal control;

    Abstract : Forests represent one of the biggest terrestrial ecosystems of Earth, that can produce important raw renewable materials such as wood with the help of sun, air and water. To efficiently extract these raw materials, the tree harvesting process is highly mechanized in developed countries, meaning that advanced forestry machines are continuously used to fell, to process and to transport the logs and biomass obtained from the forests.

    Abstract : For integration of additive manufacturing into industrial production, there is a need for capable yet robust automation solutions. Such solutions are to ensure consistent process outputs, both with regard to deposit geometry and material properties. READ MORE

  6. 4. Simulation and execution of autonomous robot systems

    Author : Magnus Olsson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotics; Automation; Elektronik och elektroteknik; sensor simulation robotics; Electronics and Electrical technology; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Traditional off-line programming is not enough in order to use the full potential of virtual models and simulation system in industrial robot applications. The interface between off-line programming system and the robot controller is today restricted to program transfer. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Industrial Automation Software Components

    Author : Oscar Ljungkrantz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IEC 61131; Programmable Logic Controller PLC ; IEC 61499; formal verification; Manufacturing automation software; software reusability; Reusable Automation Component RAC ; software specification;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programs in the manufacturing industry, that is to say programs that coordinate robots and machines. The last years there has been increased competition and shorter life-cycles of many mass-produced products. READ MORE
