REMOTE ROBOT VISION LEARNING AND CONTROL IN FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING CELLS

The paper describes a scientific project aiming to build up a Research and Development collaboration portal and communication platform for robot integration in flexible manufacturing structures and hands-on team training. The platform is a software product designed to support multiple remote connections with a number of Adept Technology V+ robot-vision controllers, either located in a local network or via Internet. Additionally the project allows users to run remote robot vision and learning sessions, to develop and execute robot-vision programs. The project offers a set of vision tools and semi-automated utility functions that allow users to understand and use these systems at full capacity.
