Abstract
A technique automates robotic assembly of two parts with a fastener structure including an engaging portion and a receiving portion. A robot system includes a robot that grips a workpiece, a force sensor located on the robot to measure a force and a moment acting on the workpiece, and a controller that controls the robot. The controller monitors, while moving the workpiece in a direction along a first axis and inserting the workpiece into a part, a change in a force F in the direction along the first axis and a change in a moment M about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis measured by the force sensor to determine a state of assembly of the workpiece with the part.
