Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the
development of Collaborative Mobile Industrial Manipulator
(CMIM), which is currently in high demand. Such a review
is necessary to have an overall understanding about CMIM
advanced technology. This is the first review to combine the
system architecture and application which is necessary in
order to gain a full understanding of the system. The classical
framework of CMIM is firstly discussed, including hardware
and software. Subsystems that are typically involved in
hardware such as mobile platform, manipulator, end-effector
and sensors are presented. With regards to software, planner,
controller, perception, interaction and so on are also
described. Following this, the common applications (logistics,
manufacturing and assembly) in industry are surveyed.
Finally, the trends are predicted and issues are indicated as
references for CMIM researchers. Specifically, more
research is needed in the areas of interaction, fully
autonomous control, coordination and standards. Besides,
experiments in real environment would be performed more
and novel collaborative robotic systems would be proposed in
future. Additionally, some advanced technology in other
areas would also be applied into the system. In all, the system
would become more intelligent, collaborative and
autonomous.
