PROGRESS--A graphical robot programming system

A graphical robot programming system has been developed. This system with a graphical interface is user-friendly and easy-to-learn for low-skill users. It has been developed as a prototype system under a project by the Japan Robot Association (JARA) since 1994. The system runs on a personal computer and consists of a graphical user interface and an editing system. It is designed for programming an arc welding robot in small batch production and is expected to provide low-skill users with a means to use industrial robots with ease.

SUMMARYThis work describes a hierarchically structured geometric database in an off-line robot programming system. The data structure contains the numerical definition of the frame variables, as well as an indicator of the respective reference frames. Moreover, the physical relations between the objects in the environment are included. The database is implemented such that it continuously reflects the actual structure of the environment. As a result, all calculations of the frame locations are carried out automatically. Moreover, the programming system is capable to autonomously updating the numerical information after changes in the environment. Making this database the heart of a robot programming system greatly simplifies the off-line programming of complex robot tasks, like f.i. assembly tasks.

Human Robot Collaboration

Die Mensch-Roboter-Kooperation erlaubt es, in einem bestimmten Ausmaß zu automatisieren und gleichzeitig Flexibilität zu erhalten. Für einen flexiblen Einsatz von Robotern muss aber insbesondere der Programmieraufwand gering gehalten werden. Die Zusammenarbeit von Roboter und Mensch birgt zusätzliche Herausforderungen, wie die Zuteilung und die Abhängigkeiten der Aufgaben. Um den Nutzer bei diesen Herausforderungen zu unterstützen, wurde ein aufgabenorientiertes Programmiersystem speziell für die Mensch-Roboter-Kooperation entwickelt.   Human-robot-collaboration allows for automating production while keeping flexibility. To apply robots flexibly, the programming effort needs to be kept low. The collaboration between humans and robots brings about new challenges such as the allocation of and the dependencies between tasks. To support users with these tasks, a task-oriented programming system was developed for use in human-robot-collaboration.
