Implementation of a Collaborative Robot to Polymeric Processes

Abstract

This paper describes the first phase of the implementation of the ABB YuMi IRB 14000 collaborative robot in a polymer processing laboratory. It details the selected tools, calibration procedures, and robot programming for handling and object recognition tasks. The results highlight the importance of correct workspace and tool calibration to ensure precision in object handling. The implications of these findings are discussed, and improvements for future applications of the robot in polymer research are proposed.
