These different modules are subsequently implemented in a high\u2010fidelity multi\u2010rate dynamical simulation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The developed simulation infrastructure allowed the research team to analyze and understand the dynamic interaction between the industrial robot, the control architecture and the manufacturing process involving heavy load cases in different process configurations. Several critical process\u2010induced perturbations such as tool oscillations and lateral\/rotational deviations are observed, analyzed, and quantified during the simulated operations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The presented simulation platform will constitute one of the key technology enablers in the major research initiative carried out by NRC Aerospace in their endeavor to develop a robust robotic FSW platform, allowing both the development of optimal workcell layouts\/process parameters and the validation of advanced real\u2010time control laws for robust handling of critical process\u2010induced perturbations.
