The main aim of the project was to improve current design methodologies of robotic manipulators using the mechatronic approach. The most promising areas of the research are the following:
The project was active for 24 month from 1-4-94 untill 31-3-96.
The basic tasks of this Copernicus project are listed below:
This project is a cooperation between the polish University of Mining and Metallurgy , the french university INSA-Lyon and the Technical University of Denmark . The project is supported by the Commission of the European Communities under the COPERNICUS project and DG 13.
At the french university the project is run by professor Maurice Betemps and research assistant Christine Prelle both from the Laboratoire d'Automatique Industrielle .
At the polish university the project is run by professor Tadeusz Uhl and Janusz Rod both from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics and by professor Maciej Szymkat, Andrzej Turnau and Kolek Krzysztof all from the Department of Electronic Engeneering, Automatics and Electronic.
At the danish university the project is run by two persons which are project coordinator Ole Ravn and research assistant Anders Pjetursson both from the Department of Automation . The equipment at the institute includes a 3 degree of freedom rigid robot
and a flexible link
