An architecture for application oriented robot programming

Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2000

The authors formulate the problems and suggest one approach towards a solution. The problem is motivated by some typical examples that are outlined. These examples show some requirements from different applications. Even a very mature application like spot welding needs special care to obtain best possible performance in the short moves between spots.

Programming industrial robots using advanced input-output devices: test-case example using a CAD package and a digital pen based on the Anoto technology

International Journal of Online Engineering, Aug 7, 2007

In the best case, existing practices from manual work could be used, to smoothly let current employees start using robot technology as a natural part of their work. Our aim is to simplify the robot programming task by allowing the user to simply make technical drawings on a sheet of paper. Craftsman use paper and raw sketches for several situations; to share ideas, to get a better imagination or to remember the customer situation. Currently these sketches have either to be interpreted by the worker when producing the final product by hand, or transferred into CAD file using an according tool. The former means that no automation is included, the latter means extra work and much experience in using the CAD tool. Our approach is to use the digital pen and paper from Anoto as input devices for SME robotic tasks, thereby creating simpler and more user friendly alternatives for programming, parameterization and commanding actions. To this end, the basic technology has been investigated and fully working prototypes have been developed to explore the possibilities and limitation in the context of typical SME applications. Based on the encouraging experimental results, we believe that drawings on digital paper will, among other means of human-robot interaction, play an important role in manufacturing SMEs in the future.

Real Java for real time - gain and pain

Proceedings of the 2002 International Conference on Compilers Architecture and Synthesis For Embedded Systems, Oct 8, 2002

However, standard Java implementations exhibit problems with performance, memory footprint, and predictability. The question is then, are these limitations inherent in the technology? Reviewing run-time aspects and the possibility to compile Java to native code, reveals some real limitations as well as common misconceptions. Investigation of the real limitations shows that for implementing real-time Java on small embedded platforms, native compilation via C is an appropriate solution for many platforms and applications. A revised technique for Java-compatible memory management is proposed to reduce latencies, and linkage of externally generated (C) code with natively compiled Java is considered in a prototype that has been implemented. Based on application demands and experimental verification, we find that real-time Java can, and should, retain the standard simple Java memory model to the programmer.

The conclusions are that distributed, cloud-based approaches offer many possibilities, in particular for knowledge exchange and reuse, and facilitate new business models for industrial solutions. However, there are many unresolved questions yet, e.g., those related to reliability, consistency, or legal responsibility. There is a definite need for further research and better infrastructure before this approach would become attractive for industrial actors.

Characteristics such as machine stiffness, work envelope, repeatability and accuracy were considered. This paper will present a brief history of the Tau parallel machine, the results of this testing and some comment on prospective application to the aerospace industry.

A knowledge integration framework for robotics

The architecture abstracts the components as data sources, where data are available in the AutomationML data exchange format. AutomationML is an ongoing standard initiative that aims at unifying data representation and APIs used by engineering tools. A triplification procedure converts native formats used by data sources into RDF triples and then exposes them via a SPARQL endpoint. The triplification step has been implemented for the CAEX top level and logic data parts of AutomationML, where the conversion uses XSLT rules.
