摘要：Collaborative arm robot is a robot that can work alongside humans. By using force limiting (FL) feature, where the force of the arm robot is limited and controlled, the robot can sense collision and stop its movement when it occurs. The idea is to apply the mentioned concept for service purposes. In this research a 6-axis arm robot with collision detection is developed. The design of the arm robot adopted the design of Universal Robot's UR3 with each joint capable of 360° rotation. The design approach is chosen for its flexibility to work in tight space with a maximum reach of half meter, as it is intended to work closely with human. This initial version robot is not intended to carry heavy load or move at high precision. With a maximum load of one Kg, this arm robot targets numerous applications that help human to do complex repetitive tasks, extend the reach of human operators, and help humans on many daily chores that usually does not involve heavy loads. The whole frame, which also serve as the cover of the robot, was made by 3D printing with multiple materials that fit to the strength and temperature requirement at each part of the robot. In order to detect collision, the arm robot employed smart servos at each joint with the ability to detect overcurrent and overvoltage, which allow the implementation of force limiting (FL) feature that will stop the robot in case of collision. The resulting arm robot managed to lift1 kg load and able stop its movement in the event of collision. Future research to improve the movement precision of the arm robot by adaptive methods is promising.
