Conference Proceeding
Papadaki, A. R., Bacharoudis, K., Bainbridge, D., Burbage, N., Turner, A., Sanderson, D., …Ratchev, S. M. (2023). Automating the Generation of MBD-Driven Assembly Work Instruction Documentation for Aircraft Components. In Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing: The Human-Data-Technology Nexus: Proceedings of FAIM 2022, June 19–23, 2022, Detroit, Michigan, USA (394-403). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-18326-3_38

The classical approach to the creation of assembly work instructions for high value, complex products is time-consuming and prone to error. It requires a process engineer to write the work instructions step-by-step and manually insert specific techni...

Learning Feedforward Control for Industrial Manipulators (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Liu, C., Popov, A., Turner, A., Shires, E., & Ratchev, S. (2021). Learning Feedforward Control for Industrial Manipulators. In 2021 IEEE 10th Data Driven Control and Learning Systems Conference (DDCLS) (523-528). https://doi.org/10.1109/DDCLS52934.2021.9455672

In this work, an iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm is proposed for industrial manipulators. The proposed ILC algorithm works coordinately with the inverse dynamics of the manipulator and a feedback controller. The entire control scheme has t...
