Abstract :
In previous papers, the authors have already introduced the idea of an autonomous decentralized manufacturing system (ADMS), in which machines receive electrical energy through wireless power transmission and also are decentrally controlled through wireless transmission of the control and feedback data. With this idea, the degree of freedom in motion control is enlarged, and the system has the capability of adaptive reconfiguration to product variation as a result. In this paper, the practical problems for realization of wireless transmission of power and information (WTPI) needed for the proposed ADMS are clarified, and the practical solutions to these problems are presented. Several industrial applications of the WTPI are also introduced
