The Mitsubishi MelfaRxm middleware and application: A case study of RV-2AJ robot

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is reviewing the MelfaRxm middleware that was provided by Mitsubishi for their robot series. MelfaRxm provides the communication abstraction for software control development. Based on Windows platform and high level language, it can produce the real-time and offline programming for control robot. This middleware also supports for developing control multiple robots in one time. Furthermore, the experiment of the robot system has been developed to verify the functional of the middleware. It contains two sections of the interface. First is the control robot interface which presents the function at the robot control unit. Second is the operational interface which presents the manipulator control. Mitsubishi RV-2AJ robot has been chosen as a study case. Finally future work and conclusion will be elaborated.
