In this article, the development of an action-based process model is described which was especially tailored to the needs of modelling and simulating multifinger hands. The research has been concerned with a description technique using constraints for modelling the working environment and with the design of an appropriate process model for simulating complex movements of manipulation objects with multifinger hands. The paper presents the results of an object-oriented approach to the proposed model and consists of two parts: a constraint net that describes the connections and relations between cell components (robots, grippers, objects) in the working environment and a propagation algorithm that computes the new locations regarding the modifications and logical dependencies.

The use of manipulator systems with many degrees of freedoms is essential to expand the field of potential applications. This paper presents a distributed approach for executing task-level programs for cooperating manipulators or one-arm systems with many degrees of freedom. At task level, only the movement of the objects to be manipulated is specified. The according manipulator motions are then calculated by assigning local intelligence to each joint. The local intelligence enables the joint agents to calculate in parallel their appropriate movements to make the end effector reach the desired position. During execution, each joint evaluates sensor data to compensate for execution errors, to react on unexpected obstacles and to provide the manipulator coordination. Therefore, a distributed fuzzy rule base has been developed. As this local evaluation may lead to non-optimal overall behavior of the manipulator, the joint agents communicate to provide global suboptimality.

In maxillofacial surgery the quality of the surgical outcome mainly depends on the experience of the operating surgeon. Thus we intend to support the surgeon before and during surgery in order to enhance the surgical results. On the one hand this implies the use of image processing, three dimensional modelling techniques and visualization techniques of medical image data, on the other hand planning systems, intraoperative navigation devices and surgical robots are needed. In this paper a complex expert system is presented, which uses a planner for generating treatment plans, an infrared navigation for monitoring both patient, robot, and surgical tool, and a surgical robotic system in order to work on bone. Special stress is laid on the architecture of the planning system, the structure of the treatment plans, and the intraopertative communication protocols.

The segmentation of medical images like CT or MRI scans represents a great challenge to researchers in computer vision, due to the variability of the individual anatomy and the different characteristics of the scanning systems. As an anatomical knowledge base improves the recognition of structures in CT or MRI scans, we chose a knowledge based segmentation in our approach, which will be explained in the following.

This paper presents ROSI-Layout, a computer aided planning system for the generation of suitable workcell layouts for robot assembly applications. The idea is to derive first the spatial transformations for the product parts, which lead to the assembly of the final product. A global database provides the product data and the precedence graph. This information comes from product design and assembly planning. The design of spatial transformations is derived from constraints given by the geometric shape of the product parts and from rules that define how assembly with robots should be accomplished. This is followed by the generation of a suitable layout. A layout can be developed that is specially designed for the product to be assembled. During the entire planning session, the database manages all planning data and ensures consisteny. ROSI-Layout is an extension of the RObot Simulation system ROSI.

This paper describes a method to simulate vision for use in robot applications. Our approach shows the physical modeling of the camera, the light sources and the objects within the scene based on a geometric model. Many parameters of the physical model may be adjusted to obtain simulation results close to reality. For processing of the picture data the SPIDER program is added to the simulation of the camera. Though a complete vision system is created. An example shows the simulation of a CCD-camera and a scene with workpieces taken from the ‘European Benchmark’ [COL85].

In this paper the framework of an intelligent control system of a multi-finger robot hand is described, that is especially tailored for sensor-based object handling and assembly. The research has concerned with the Karlsruhe dextrous hand, a modular three-finger hand with 9 degrees of freedom, independent finger modules and integrated sensors. The total system structure consists of three embedded subsystems, with a planning and supervisory system on the top, which has a blackboard-like architecture to exchange information with a distributed real-timecontrol system that provides force/position control strategies for dextrous grasping and manipulating of arbitrary objects. A programming and simulation system supports the object/task-based description of all robot and gripper actions required to perform a specific operation.< >
