摘要

工業機器人是適合開發具靈活和可重新配置的製造系統，其有助於執行自動操作，例如切削、鑽孔、研磨、拋光、銑削、去毛邊。與傳統的數控機床相比，機器人加工系統象徵著節省成本和靈活的替代方案。隨著工業機器人技術的不斷精進，正逐步應用在航空製造領域，但一些問題也隨之暴露出來，如機器人精度不足、加工點位太多等問題。因此，工業機器人需要更加智慧化才能滿足航空製造領域生產的要求。本文旨在說明有關機器人加工的技術限制及當前技術解決方案，透過分析各別組成的技術障礙及對應的解決技術（機器人運動學模型修正技術、末端精度補償技術、離線編程技術），進而提供一個對於系統的完整改善。

Industrial robot's flexibility makes it ideal as the core of reconfigurable manufacturing systems. The robots are suitable for automatic manufacturing operations such as cutting, drilling, grinding, polishing, milling, and deburring. Robotic machining system is a cost-saving and flexible alternative to conventional CNC machines. Industrial robots have been applied to aerospace manufacturing with improving precision and larger workspace. However, some problems with these industrial robots have also been exposed, such as insufficient position accuracy and too many teaching points. Therefore, industrial robots need to be more intelligent to meet the requirements in aerospace manufacturing. This article explains technical constraints and current technology solutions for robotic machining. By analyzing the individual technical barriers and the corresponding solution techniques, robotic maching systems can be completely improved.
