Abstract

Factories of the future will be intelligent and robotic. They are made up of robotic workcells. Nowadays, the existing software systems support only the motion planning of robots. But for the planning of actions in robotic workcells, we have to consider the coordination between robots or between robots and machines. To do this efficiently, it is necessary to integrate all stages of planning robotic application, from the task definition to the motion generation, into a common environment. Because of their complexity the planning of CIM-tasks should be supported by tools of interactive computer graphics. In this paper, a model for the description of robotic task and a concept for the integrated planning based on this model are described.

    During the last few years, multiple tools, virtual, and remote labs have been developed to allow the students to work and learn at home or work through the Internet from any part of the world without temporal constraints [11–14] and in providing interactive learning [15]. Several teaching tools have also been published in the field of mobile robotics (e.g. [5,16,17]), but with less impact than those developed in the scope of robot manipulators. In [18], an interactive autonomous robot motion planning system developed in Java is described.
