Принадлежит: Paramit Corp

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for managing tools and calibrating tools when performing assembly instructions in a computer directed assembly system. To ensure tools remain calibrated, in one embodiment a tool identifier associated with a tool required for the assembly instruction is obtained. Using the tool identifier, a tool usage time for the tool is aggregated from an assembly record database. To determine whether the tool may need calibration, the tool usage time from a last calibration point is compared with a tool usage threshold for calibrating the tool as provided for by the associated assembly instruction. If the tool usage threshold is exceeded, using the tool is disallowed unless the tool is recalibrated. Alternatively, the tool is authorized for use to perform the assembly instruction when it is determined that the tool usage time from the last calibration point does not exceed the tool usage threshold.

This disclosure relates generally to robotic network, and more particularly to a method and system for hierarchical decomposition of tasks and task planning in a robotic network. While a centralized system is used for action planning in a robotic network, any communication network issues can adversely affect working of the robotic network. Further, hardcoding one or more specific tasks to a robot restricts use of the robots irrespective of capabilities of the robots. The robotic agent decomposes a goal assigned to the robot to multiple sub-goals, and for each sub-goal, identifies one or more tasks to be executed/performed by the robot. An action plan is generated based on all such tasks identified, and the robot executes the action plan, in response to the goal assigned to the robot.

Control device and control method

Номер: US20190079499A1

Автор: Eiji Yamamoto, Junji Shimamura, Masahiko Nakano

Принадлежит: Omron Corp

In a control device which can execute a first program entirely scanned in each control cycle to update a command value, and a sequentially interpreted second program, an environment for realizing higher control performance is provided. The control device includes a first program execution part scanning the entire first program in each control cycle to update a command value and a second program execution part updating the command value in each control cycle according to a sequentially interpreted second program. The second program execution part includes an interpreter generating an intermediate code and a command value operation part calculating the command value in each control cycle according to the intermediate code. The command value operation part outputs the command value in each control cycle so that the command value can be used in other processes.

METHOD OF OPTIMIZATION OF MACHINING PROGRAMS

Номер: US20190086901A1

Автор: PRONGUE Christophe

Принадлежит:

A method generates a machining program defining a trajectory of a tool for a workpiece having a first portion which can be machined with only linear axes followed by a second portion requiring a machining with linear axes and one or two rotational axes. A base code is generated defining the trajectory with, for the first portion, a first path by which relative movement occurs only along the linear axes followed by, for the second portion, a second path by which relative movement occurs along the linear axes and rotational axes. Before execution, the base code is optimized to modify the previously defined trajectory, including: modifying the first path with a relative movement occurring along the axes before starting on the second path; and reconstructing a profile of a kinematic quantity of one or both of the rotational axes on the first path to eliminate discontinuities on the profile. 1.

The present invention is directed to a plant management system that actively incorporates the sense or experience of an operator who observes or inspects a plant on work site in plant management processing. The plant management system includes an acquirer that acquires at least a position in which an abnormality suspicious event suspected to be abnormal by an operator on work site has occurred, a sensor specifier that specifies a sensor associated with the abnormality suspicious event based on the at least a position in which the abnormality suspicious event has occurred, and a setter that sets an information collection method in accordance with the specified sensor. In addition, at least one of a type of the abnormality suspicious event and an occurrence time of the abnormality suspicious event may be taken into consideration to specify the sensor.
