Abstract
Monitoring and controlling of robots are key competences for robot producers and many research and development projects are carried out to increase robot performance and add new functionality. The paper presents a concept and implementation of online programming, controlling and monitoring an industrial robot using a Kinect sensor as a HMI part. Presented innovative solution is based on human gestures. A communication interface for gestures analysis performed by the robot operator was created using LabVIEW applications. Communication between the kinetic motion sensor and the robot was carried out through PLC Siemens S7-300 inside a flexible manufacturing system. The connection between the logic controller and the robot controller R30iA was realized in the ProfibusDP network. The connection between the controller and LabVIEW application has been established using the MPI protocol. A hardware communication protocol used by PLC was converted into the OPC protocol. NUI was used to communicate the Kinect with LabVIEW.
