In industry, several operations require sheet-like materials to be transported from a loading station to the desired location. Such applications are prevalent in the aerospace and textile industry where composite prepreg sheets or fabrics are placed over a tool or fed to a machine. Using robots for sheet transport operations offers a flexible solut...

... A widespread tool in practice is the pick-and-place mechanism, where a conveyor belt is used to get the sheets to the machine unit, and the same sheet is lifted by mechanical means and placed on the past layer. However, the pick-and-place robots are very sophisticated for this purpose, where the arm moves the end effector to grip the sheet and place it in the required location (Manyar et al. 2022). The controller is used to operate the arm's position and movements, keep track of time and monitor the movements of the manipulator. ...
