چکیده

The wide variety of robot programming languages available and their limitations can reduce the value of robots in establishing competitive industries. A solution is the use of a standard programming language and a library of robot control functions. ARCL (for Advanced Robot Control Library) is a powerful, general, and portable software library which provides robot control capability to C language application programmers. ARCL, developed by the CSIRO Division of Manufacturing Technology, supports sensor-based motion control, and has been used in projects related to force-controlled deburring and high-performance visual servoing. Robot controllers using the ARCL library have replaced the VAL-I controller on Unimate Puma 560 robots, and controlled a stepper motor robot attached to a PC. As well as real-time systems, ARCL runs o -line on Unix workstations and PCs, and can produce graphical simulation of robot motion. This paper introduces the software and its capabilities.

Performance Analysis of a Repairable Robot Safety System with Standby, Imperfect Coverage and Reboot Delay

The present study deals with a robot safety system composed of standby robot units and inbuilt safety unit. When the main operative unit fails, it is replaced by the standby robot unit available in the system. The concept of reboot delay is also incorporated in this study according to which the robot unit is rebooted if it is not successfully recovered. The recovery and reboot times of failed u...

QRobot – A Multitasking PC Based Robot Control System

In this paper, we describe QRobot, a low level real-time PC-based system for controlling PUMA robot manipulators. Specifically, we illustrate how a standard PUMA controller can be retrofitted with interface boards that allow it to be connected to an industry standard PC. All computational units are removed from the existing PUMA controller, and the PC assumes the role of computing the control s...

Designing Path for Robot Arm Extensions Series with the Aim of Avoiding Obstruction with Recurring Neural Network

In this paper, recurrent neural network is used for path planning in the joint space of the robot with obstacle in the workspace of the robot. To design the neural network, first a performance index has been defined as sum of square of error tracking of final executor. Then, obstacle avoidance scheme is presented based on its space coordinate and its minimum distance between the obstacle and ea...

Performance Prediction of a Flexible Manufacturing System

The present investigation presents a stochastic model for a flexible manufacturing system consisting of flexible machine, loading/unloading robot and an automated pallethandling device. We consider unreliable flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) wherein machine and robot operate under individual as well as common cause random failures. The pallethandling system is completely reliable. The pallet o...
