The Method of Network Control of Robotic Systems of Different Models and Manufacturers

Abstract

The method of organization of network management for robotic systems from different manufacturers without modification of their low-level code is described. The method is based on the "concept of drivers". It is similar to the external device drivers for various operating systems. The requirements for the hardware and software architecture of the interaction of robotic systems of different models and manufacturers were defined. The development of a "driver" for mechatronic gripper module of AMUR (ML "Sensorika") educational robot is shown as a specific example of driver's development stages.
