Title: Robot simulation deviceApplicant: Fanuc Ltd (JP)Patent number: EP1769890Publication date: 4 April 2007
A simulation device, for a robot, capable of judging off-line whether an article around an object to be detected interferes with the scope of a vision sensor during a measurement operation using the vision sensor, whereby the workload on an operator in the field may be reduced. Models of the scope of the vision sensor and the article, which may interfere with the scope of the vision sensor, are indicated on a display so as to indicate the occurrence of interference. This indication is based on whether at least a part of the article exists within the space defined by the scope of the vision sensor.
Title: Method of evaluating and correcting robot program and device for evaluating and correcting robot programApplicant: Fanuc Ltd (JP)Patent number: EP1752847Publication date: 14 February 2007
There is provided a device for evaluating and correcting a robot operation program for evaluating an appropriateness for the robot operation program and correcting the robot operation program, comprising a computer including a simulation function for confirming a robot operation. The computer includes a load calculation section for calculating a load given to a motor for driving an operating portion of the robot by a simulation conducted by a computer; and an evaluation section for evaluating, by an evaluation function, whether or not the load exceeds a predetermined allowed value.
Title: Force reflective robotic control system and minimally invasive surgical deviceApplicant: Tavakoli Seyed M (CA); Patel Rajnikant V (CA); Moallem Mehrdad (CA)Patent number: US2007018958Publication date: 25 January 2007
A robotic system has been designed that can be used as a minimally invasive surgical device. The system has a master end and a slave end. The master end has five physical movements corresponding to physical movements at the slave end with five degrees of freedom. There is force feedback from the slave end to the master end for each physical movement. The interface can be one or more computers. The master end can be remote from the slave end and the slave end can be a surgical robot or a simulation program on a computer.
Title: Robot simulation deviceApplicant: Nat Aerospace LabPatent number: JP2006281330Publication date: 19 October 2006
Problem to be solved: To execute further accurate simulation without modeling a robot.
Solution: A robot controller 20 for controlling the robot 10 is provided with a control information storage means 26. The robot simulation device is provided with a control information acquisition means for acquiring at least a part of the control information obtained by controlling the robot and it executes the simulation of operations of the robot on the basis of the acquired control information. Namely, the accurate simulation can be achieved without modelling the robot since the control information obtained by the actual operational control of the robot is utilized.
Title: Device and method for programming an industrial robotApplicant: Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (DE)Patent number: US2006287772Publication date: 21 December 2006
In a device and method for programming an industrial robot using a simulation program, control commands are issued by a handheld programming device and these commands are visualized on an image surface as movement and/or processing operations by the robot on the basis of data of the robot. An object to be processed is also displayed on the image surface and a three-dimensional image of the robot and the object is presented.
Title: Method for operating an industrial machineApplicant: Siemens AG (DE); Koch David (DE); Kreidler Volker (DE); Mutscheller Wolfgang (DE)Patent number: WO2006128401Publication date: 7 December 2007
The invention relates to a method for operating an industrial machine, the latter being, e.g. a processing machine, a production machine or a manipulation robot. At least part of the operation of said industrial machine is simulated with the aid of a simulation model and the simulated results and real-time data from the operation of the industrial machine are stored. The simulation can be carried out in the industrial machine and if this is the case a parametric representation of the simulation model can be at least partly produced using a unit for this purpose. To produce said parametric representation, a data-systems connection can be created between the industrial machine and the unit, by means of an intranet and/or an internet connection. In addition, the simulation can be carried out in an external simulation unit, the latter having a data-systems connection to the industrial machine by means of an Intranet and/or an internet connection.
