START: An Application Builder for Industrial Robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The repair of nuclear power plants often necessitates the development of special robots which should be operational readily. This requires a software architecture which quickly permits the design of a controller for an entire telerobotic system in a minimum period of time. We have developed such a software architecture to facilitate the design of applications dealing with non standard robot systems and complex industrial processes. In this paper we describe the requirements for this architecture and how we address them.

The network built i...
متن کاملDesigning of Robot Workspace by Application Programming Interface
In this paper, we propose an application programming interface (API) for designing of a robot workspace. The interface is realized inside a SolidWorks computer aided design environment. Via API, the builder of the robot system can check if: a) the current robot mechanism can perform the desired work movements, b) the robot can avoid singularity, and c) the points of the robot trajectory are wit...

متن کاملRobotics API: Object-Oriented Software Development for Industrial Robots
Industrial robots are flexible machines that can be equipped with various sensors and tools to perform complex tasks. However, current robot programming languages are reaching their limits. They are not flexible and powerful enough to master the challenges posed by the intended future application areas. In the research project SoftRobot, a consortium of science and industry partners developed a...
