From perception to precision: Vision-based mobile robotic manipulation for assembly screwdriving

Flexible manufacturing demands automation that is both precise and adaptable. However, tasks such as screwdriving are typically automated using costly, rigid robotic cells, making this approach impractical for low-volume, high-mix production. As a scalable solution, mobile manipulators offer a flexible alternative, but achieving the required precision for screwdriving remains challenging due to localization uncertainties...
