Robotic walking aids can provide significant support for elderly users with mobility constraints. Automatic guidance systems help to lead a user to a specific target safely. In order to ensure good support for the user, the robotic walker should adapt to the motion of the user while at the same time not losing the target out of sight. Even though some of the existing active robotic walkers are able...
This paper deals with the concept of a control architecture for robot cells that enables plug'n'produce according to plug'n'play in the office world. To achieve this, a software module called "interconnector module" takes as input descriptions of devices and processes. These descriptions are then automatically evaluated in order to offer the user commands to use the functionality of the...
New technologies and processes enhance the need for direct human-robot-interaction, to fully exploit the potential of robots' accuracy and humans' adaptability. Therefore, the hazardous potential of the involved robot manipulator needs to be minimised. Limits must be set, so that only an acceptable severity of injury for the human will remain in case of an unintended contact between the robot and...
We present a realization of a multi-agent system (MAS) with application to commissioning goods. It includes mobile and stationary robots as well as human workforce. AM sequences of action are self-organizing. The system is fail-safe against perturbations as well as malfunctioning of individual components. This is due to the agent approach as well as the proper selection and implementation of software...
