Methodology to identify robots given the type of control designation

Abstract

Currently, robot manufacturers usually use closed proprietary protocols, which significantly complicates the development and integration of new robots and complexes. We propose to use a standard sequence of requests and responses between the control server and the client (some steps may be skipped). The first and second steps are designed to check the availability of equipment when you first turn on the system or during connection setup. If the verification is successful, the сontrol server proceeds to the next step. The third and fourth steps stand for initial configuration and adjustment of remote control. In the fifth step, the digital control signal is transmitted from the control server to the robot. The signal transmits all the necessary information to control the robot device. The keys are string fields (up to 256 characters). At the sixth step, the control server receives a сontrol response - the structure of the data transmitted from the client (robot) to confirm data acceptance and return of additional parameters. To identify robots, we propose to classify them by type and designation and indicate available types of control. For a detailed description of the robot, the entire initialization scheme is used. The proposed methodology is intended to describe infrastructure and platform independent interaction, which allows it to be used in various types of robotic systems.
