COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL AND COLLABORATIVE ROBOT PRECISION USING OPTICAL METROLOGY FOR SMART MANUFACTURING
Abstract
This study compares the absolute positioning accuracy of the ABB IRB 1600 industrial robot and the Doosan M1013 collaborative robot under controlled experimental conditions using the C-Track 780 optical tracking system. Both robots were tested across varying payloads and speeds, with results showing higher positioning deviations for the collaborative platform, especially under dynamic loads. A predictive compensation model was validated for both systems, demonstrating improved accuracy but also highlighting platform-specific limitations. The study provides insights for selecting appropriate robotic solutions in precision-dependent smart manufacturing environments.
