Abstract
A method for the automated control of a process robot with a controller performing movement and work sequences and with one or more sensors that record a work progress. A planning tool compares a recorded progress of work with an aimed-for processing objective and determines, from a difference between the processing objective and an actual value of the process that corresponds to the recorded progress of work, movement and work sequences with which the aimed-for processing objective is achieved. Then the determined movement and work sequences are converted into robot-executable control commands in real time or in-step with the process, and the process robot is controlled in such a way as to achieve the aimed-for processing objective.
Claims20
A method for the automated control of a process robot with a controller performing movement and work sequences and with at least one sensor recording a work progress carried out on a workpiece, the method which comprises:
- comparing, in a planning tool, a recorded work progress carried out on the workpiece with an aimed-for processing objective for the workpiece and determining, from a difference between the processing objective and an actual value of the process that corresponds to the recorded work progress movement and work sequences with which the aimed-for processing objective for the workpiece is achieved;
- subsequently converting the determined movement and work sequences into robot-executable control commands in real time or in-step with the process;
- and
- controlling the process robot in such a way as to achieve the aimed-for processing objective.
