Abstract

This paper describes an object-oriented distributed control environment for industrial multirobot applications. A distributed computing environment, where workpieces, robots, and other industrial devices such as a vision sensor are defined as software objects with class inheritance hierarchy, supports human-friendly task-level programming and automated robot program generation with 3D graphic simulation, and performs supervisory and real-time sensor-based coordinated control of multirobot systems. Using object-oriented multitasking control with a preemptive rescheduler, vision-based robot positioning and pick and place operations for exchange of a workpiece are demonstrated to validate the control performance of the computing environment.
