Software platform for the industrial dual-arm robot

Abstract

Human rights at poor working condition is the severe problem in modern manufacturing system. The industrial dual-arm robot is being developed to meet these social issues fundamentally. The software platform for the industrial dual-arm robot is also being developed, which have many differences compared to the conventional robot software platforms. The software platform for the industrial dual-arm robot which are being developed should have the realtime control capability, the precise motion command interface and the convenience of usage. A special architecture for the mentioned functions is introduced. The proposed architecture consists of the multiple user command input tools, the translator for the unique robot language and the robot control framework with the realtime control property controlled by the unique robot language. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
