“…The essential components of a robot are the mechanical manipulator, the actuators that convert electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic energy into mechanical power for movement, the sensors that measure position, speed, force, or torque, the control unit, and the power unit (Yamamoto et al, 2016). The main tasks performed by robots in manufacturing are welding, handling, painting, assembling, and palletizing (Wang et al, 2017). In FMS's, loads are handled by automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), composed of storage structures, stacker cranes and transelevators.…”
