Abstract

The use of robotics in the industrial environment has, in general, very similar goals. Because of productivity requirements, or due to reliability, industries have been constantly equipping their floor with robots. In that sense, the chapter observed—in a fiberglass company—the chance of using a robot to execute a boring and repetitive task. The task mentioned is, actually, the manufacturing of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) molded grating. To confirm the possibility of using a robot to this job, a cost and time analysis was made about the whole molded gratings manufacturing process. Afterward, research about robotics was taken in parallel with the conception of the robot (named “roving-robot”). Calculations were made to the mechanical project of the robot. Applying computer-aided design (CAD), technical drawing and bill of materials were generated to permit the robot assembling. All of these project steps are presented in this chapter.
