MODERN PROBLEMS OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL COOPERATIVE ROBOTECHNICAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

Cooperative robotics is becoming a leading domain of application that enables the joint production of person and robot. Cooperative production depends to a large extent on the availability of a cooperative (collective, collaborative) robot (cobot).The conducted analysis of known methods and solutions in the domain of cooperative robotics shows that nowadays there are still a number of unresolved issues in this domain, in particular, the problem of rational planning and improving the quality of analysis of information, by which people and cobots are exchanged in the shared work environment, as well as the problem of increasing the efficiency of making their decisions. Therefore, the complexity of the analysis of information, by which people and cobot(s) are exchanged in the shared work environment, is a major barrier to the wider use of cooperative robotechnical systems. One of the most important tasks from this point of view is to present the shared work environment and components, as well as speed up and improve the quality of information processing. This information is usually provided in natural language. Therefore, there is a need to ensure the understandability of the relevant knowledge and information for the cobot, which can be achieved through the use of ontologies. Currently, there are a number of solutions in which ontologies are effectively used for the domain of cooperative robotics, but one of the reasons for a large number of unresolved issues in this domain (in particular, the problems of information analysis in a common cooperative environment) is the disparateness of available solutions, as well as the lack of a multifunctional cooperative robotechnical system or technology based on ontological approach. Thus, the actual task is the development of the ontology-based multifunctional cooperative robotechnical system or technology.
