论文摘要
风力涡轮机的评级能力提高的推力导致更大的发电机，更长的刀片和更高的塔楼。目前，风力涡轮机制造商提供了多达16兆瓦的风力涡轮机，在过去五年中，设计能力近60％。这些涡轮机的制造涉及组装巨大的组件。由于设计的频繁变化和涉及的各种任务，因此不可能使其成为劳动密集型的活动。但是，大型组件的处理和组装挑战了人类能力。本文提议使用移动机器人助手来部分自动化风力涡轮机制造。机器人助手可以降低生产成本和更好的工作条件。本文介绍了人类操作员有效地进行风力涡轮机的机器人助手的开发。该案件来自领先的风力涡轮机制造商。开发的系统还适用于其他大型制造的情况，涉及密集的手动努力。
The thrust for increased rating capacity of wind turbines has resulted into larger generators, longer blades, and taller towers. Presently, up to 16 MW wind turbines are being offered by wind turbines manufacturers which is nearly a 60 percent increase in the design capacity over the last five years. Manufacturing of these turbines involves assembling of gigantic sized components. Due to the frequent design changes and the variety of tasks involved, conventional automation is not possible making it a labor-intensive activity. However the handling and assembling of large components are challenging the human capabilities. The article proposes the use of mobile robotic assistants for partial automation of wind turbines manufacturing. The robotic assistant can result into reducing production costs, and better work conditions. The article presents development of a robot assistant for human operators to effectively perform assembly of wind turbines. The case is from a leading wind turbines manufacturer. The developed system is also applicable to other cases of large component manufacturing involving intensive manual effort.
