Model Driven Engineering for the Implementation of User Roles in Industrial Service Robot Applications

摘要

The implementation and installation of today's service robot applications into industrial processes is a challenging and time taking task that is usually executed by domain experts. The aim of the PRACE EU-project is to bring a mobile dual arm service robot into small part assembly tasks, which should be used by regular workers. To fulfill this goal a model driven engineering (MDE) tool chain was developed that separates three different user roles in the development process of an industrial service robot application. For each of these roles, the spectrum of required knowledge is reduced, especially for the role of the end user. Based on the implementation of this separation, an evaluation during the development of the PRACE demonstration use case was done.
