Maintenance automation: methods for robotics manipulation planning and execution

原文アブストラクト

Automating complex tasks using robotic systems requires skills for planning, control and execution. This paper proposes a complete robotic system for maintenance automation, which can automate disassembly and assembly operations under environmental uncertainties (e.g. deviations between prior plan information). The cognition of the robotic system is based on a planning approach (using CAD and RGBD data) and includes a method to interpret a symbolic plan and transform it to a set of executable robot instructions. The complete system is experimentally evaluated using real-world applications. This work shows the first step to transfer these theoretical results into a practical robotic solution.
