The use of two or more robots in a common workspace 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 corresponding manipulator motions are then calculated by assigning the 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 the 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 communications provide global suboptimality.< >

In this paper, we present a neural-based force adaptation level of a multi-level system architecture for the intelligent force control of robotic grip systems. The control algorithms developed are implemented by three-layered back-propagation neural networks. A computer based simulation system for the peg-in-hole insertion task is developed to analyze the capabilities of the neural controllers. Their behaviour is discussed by comparing them to conventional and fuzzy-based force controllers performing the same task.

The development of an advanced planning environment is described, which is especially tailored for the programming and simulating of complex assembly operations with multifinger robot hands. A new geometric-mechanic approach to the problem of planning grasp parameters for multifinger hands is presented, which considers the constraints of pick-and-place operations in manipulation and insertion tasks. The planning method is subdivided into two successive steps for (1) grasp point planning assertion object reachability and task feasibility, and (2) grasp force planning asserting object stability and grip security. The planning process is connected via a task concept and assembly specific language with the command executer of the planning system which controls both the motion emulation and force simulation.< >

Presents a neuro-fuzzy control approach for intelligent microrobots. Typical tasks of such industrial or medical robots are both exploration and fine manipulation, what demands task planning and motion/force control capabilities. For this kind of microsystems the authors investigate the system technical aspects of information processing. The concept for the control system architecture is based on the combination of a neural network approach for the adaptation of process parameters and a fuzzy logic approach for the correction of parameter values given to a conventional controller. A planning component deals with the determination of initial manipulation parameters. Together with a sensor fusion procedure and a supervising and reasoning subsystem this allows reliable operation of a microrobot.< >

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.

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].
