A WEB-I2 collaborative framework for robotic tasks Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper presents CoViRo-I2 a collaborative framework for vision-based control, implemented as an embedded web application with an online deliberative environment for remote robotic tasks. CoViRo-I2 allows remote users to exercise high-level supervisory control over an industrial robot. Camera Space Manipulation (CSM) has been implemented as the enabling vision-based control technology. CoViRo-I2 provides an online collaborative real-time environment, granting capability of expert counseling to solve a critical task before executing it in real time. The first part of this paper presents a comparison of CSM to competing methods of vision based control in order to ascertain the relative strengths and weakness of the method. The second part describes the software architecture of the based-web collaborative framework: the system requirements, the framework design and the system deployment. Finally a case of study is reported: the use of the CoViRo-12 system to command a PUMA 761 6-axis robot to execute 3D-positioning task through Internet2.
