Abstract

Abstract The paper describes open control architecture for a mobile platform with inclination control moving in construction sites and carrying a robotic arm for bricklaying services. The control system for this 12-axis construction robot is open both from the point of view of hardware structure and of basic software and application development, thus allowing rapid deployment automation solutions with service orientation for construction tasks. The navigation and locating of the mobile platform, the motion control of the robotic arm, as well as robot learning and human-robot interaction are embedded in a multiprocessor system developed around a NI Motion Control solution for which a structured programming language was developed. The elements of the basic software system design (RTOS, multitasking and operating modes) are described. The parameters for application programs are automatically computed from CAD production data generated in a 3-stage Knowledge Base Technology System (KBTS) from civil engineering projects and data bases for construction materials and building site organization.
