Abstract
A method for changing or expanding application tasks of a manipulator via a first processor and a second processor and a system for guiding the movement of the manipulator, wherein the system includes a first processor for performing control tasks relating to guiding the movement, the control tasks being performable in real-time and being performable while complying with pre-definable, in particular certifiable, safety requirements, and includes at least one second processor for performing an application task formed from a path planning task and a task relating to processing user inputs, where the second processor can be adapted to perform at least one changed or further application task.
Claims12
A system for guiding movement of a manipulator, comprising:
- a first processor for performing control tasks relating to guiding the movement of a manipulator, the control tasks being performable in real-time and being performed while complying with predefinable safety requirements;
- and
- at least one second processor for performing an application task comprising a path planning task and a task relating to processing user inputs, the second processor being configurable to perform at least one changed or further application task.
A method for changing or expanding an application task of a manipulator, the method comprising:
- performing the application task on a first processor, said application task comprising a path planning task;
- performing, on the first processor, a task relating to processing user inputs;
- setting up at least one changed or further application task on the second processor;
- performing control tasks relating to guiding movement a manipulator on a second processor (201) in real time while complying with pre-definable safety requirements;
- and
- setting up the at least one changed or further application task with no reaction on the first processor.
