Abstract:
Nowadays, robots are essential in large scale manufacturing and are becoming a fundamental part in almost every aspect of future industrial scenarios. Robot programming is still a very time intensive task. Though most of the programming is done offline with CAD tools, online programming is necessary for corrections or in cases of highly individual parts in small and medium businesses. To allow for intuitive interaction with the robot, new user devices were developed that support the user during programming and definition of tasks with multi-modal feedback. Especially, a new user interface is presented that is especially suited for robot machining tasks, where flexible handling requires intuitive and fast programming. The concept is based on separation of the task, the sensor referenced model and the acoompanying process model. Based on a parametrization- and following programming step multiple process models can be covered. This is shown with the exemplary application deburring of edges of metal casting.
