Automatic Configuration of Robot Systems - Upward and Downward Integration

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7101))

Abstract

This paper covers the automatic configuration of robot systems under consideration of its upward integration into higher automation levels and the downward integration of peripheral devices into the robot control. First the use of automatic configuration in current production environments is examined, followed by an analysis of the paradigm shift in automation technology. Subsequently approaches for machine readable functional descriptions of industrial equipment are outlined.

The authors would like to express their gratitude towards the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) and the Project Management Agency Karlsruhe (PTKA) for the funding of the research project plawamo (Planning, Design and Operation of Changeable Assembly Systems). The results presented in this paper would not have been possible without their support.
