Posture Optimization Techniques for Enhanced Robotic Machining Performance: A Review

Abstract

With the advancement of technology and the digitalization of manufacturing processes, optimized production of large-scale structural components faces increasing challenges due to mass product customization, workspace constraints, and the high cost of equipment such as CNC machines. Arm-based robotic manufacturing systems, as a substitutive or complementary alternative with strong potential, have gained significant attention as a means to address current challenges in machining. This work presents a state-of-the-art review of existing techniques and methods for optimizing robotic machining performance, with a particular focus on research advances in posture optimization of articulated robots.
