Abstract

In the last years some industrial robots have been realized with two robot arms connected to a single rotating platform. Such a redundant structure allows moving the platform to adjust each robot base for optimizing each arm movement. In this paper, a planar model of two 7-axis robots connected to a rotating platform is proposed, and a novel analytical optimization procedure, retrieved from a geometrical analysis, is presented.
