Using Knowledge Representation and Task Planning for Robot-agnostic Skills on the Example of Contact-Rich Wiping Tasks

Mayr, Matthias LU orcid ; Ahmad, Faseeh LU ; Duerr, Alexander LU orcid and Krueger, Volker LU orcid (2023) 19th IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, CASE 2023 In IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering 2023-August.
Abstract

The transition to agile manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and high-mix-low-volume tasks require robot programming solutions that are flexible. However, most deployed robot solutions are still statically programmed and use stiff position control, which limit their usefulness. In this paper, we show how a single robot skill that utilizes knowledge representation, task planning, and automatic selection of skill implementations based on the input parameters can be executed in different contexts. We demonstrate how the skill-based control platform enables this with contact-rich wiping tasks on different robot systems. To achieve that in this case study, our approach needs to address different kinematics, gripper types, vendors, and fundamentally... (More)

The transition to agile manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and high-mix-low-volume tasks require robot programming solutions that are flexible. However, most deployed robot solutions are still statically programmed and use stiff position control, which limit their usefulness. In this paper, we show how a single robot skill that utilizes knowledge representation, task planning, and automatic selection of skill implementations based on the input parameters can be executed in different contexts. We demonstrate how the skill-based control platform enables this with contact-rich wiping tasks on different robot systems. To achieve that in this case study, our approach needs to address different kinematics, gripper types, vendors, and fundamentally different control interfaces. We conducted the experiments with a mobile platform that has a Universal Robots UR5e 6 degree-of-freedom robot arm with position control and a 7 degree-of-freedom KUKA iiwa with torque control.
