Zusammenfassung:Methods for forming a glass ribbon can include moving the glass ribbon along a travel path in a travel direction at a ribbon velocity. Methods can include engaging the glass ribbon with an end effector attached to a robot arm. Methods can include moving the end effector at a first robot velocity in the travel direction. Methods can include sensing a force exerted by the glass ribbon upon the end effector. Methods can include changing a speed of the end effector from the first robot velocity to a second robot velocity when a magnitude of the force exceeds a predetermined value.
