Application of Robotics for Antenna Measurements
Robotic arms, often referred to as an industrial robot, are designed to emulate a human arm using multiple joints that either move along an axis or can rotate in certain directions. They can be programmed to perform a specific task quickly, efficiently, and extremely accurately. For these reasons, they are commonly used for manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial applications. However, their motion flexibility makes them highly reconfigurable and adaptable to numerous applications. In recent years, there has been much developmental work applying this technology for antenna measurements as robotic arms provide antenna positioning that would be constrained by conventional measurement systems. This year’s short course provides an introduction into this exciting new area in antenna measurement technology.
