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 a universal test data generator for the systematic evaluation of inverse kinematics systems. A Denavit-Hartenberg parameter based kinematics description language LDL has been developed; it is used as input language for the generator. LDL allows the expression of kinematic and geometric constraints, which have to be satisfied by the resulting generated kinematics. Moreover, it is possible to generate certain well-known classes of manipulators. Combining the basic features and different kinds of constraints, a LDL program can be used to define and to generate classes of manipulators.< >

The integration of a three-dimensional sensor into a robot workcell is described. The sensor is based on the well-known coded light approach (CLA). The CCD camera of the CLA is mounted at the robot's hand and one or more projectors are fixed outside the robot's work space. The principle of the CLA and the calibration of th robot-sensor-system are explained. An application in which the tool of the robot follows an unknown path on an arbitrary surface is presented. For evaluation reasons the deviation from the surface coordinates are simultaneously measured by a gage, allowing a quantitative error analysis.< >

The problem of a polygonal object moving in an uncertain polygonal environment, i.e. the positions and orientations of the objects relative to each other are not exactly known, is addressed. Furthermore, the moving object does not move exactly as it is commanded to move. Due to these uncertainties, even a motion generated by a correct motion planner may fail, i.e. for instance, an unexpected contact may occur. A situation analyzer that enables the moving object to acquire information on a contact situation is presented. This analyzer uses the nominal world model including information on the magnitude of the uncertainties in order to get hypotheses on the geometric entities involved in the contact. The discrimination among the hypotheses is based on test motions, i.e. motions whose feasibility depends on the validity of a certain subset of the hypotheses.< >

Deals with the problem of uncertainties in the nominal world model of a robot. In particular, the problem of analyzing unexpected situations in a 2D polygonal world is attacked. Such a situation analysis can be used to acquire information on a contact situation encountered during the execution of a motion. The analysis is based on the concept of so-called test motions, i.e. motions, the feasibility of which depends on the actual contact situation present. Using a probabilistic uncertainty model, the focus is on the computation of motion constraints due to contact and the resulting selection of an optimal test motion.< >

An approach to intelligent PID (proportional integral derivative) control of industrial systems which is based on the application of fuzzy logic is presented. This approach assumes that one has available nominal controller parameter settings through some classical tuning technique (Ziegler-Nichols, Kalman, etc.). By using an appropriate fuzzy matrix (similar to Macvicar-Whelan matrix), it is possible to determine small changes on these values during the system operation, and these lead to improved performance of the transient and steady behavior of the closed-loop system. This is achieved at the expense of some small extra computational effort, which can be very easily undertaken by a microprocessor. Several experimental results illustrate the improvements achieved.< >

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.
