Commercialization and popularization of Robotic intelligent components

摘要

This paper describes the 4th year research results of our project, ╒The development of Robotic Intelligent S/W Component and its performance test╛. In our previous paper, we suggested a unified system integration method to build an intelligent robotic system using robotic intelligent components and introduced the concept of a robotic intelligent component which consists of an embedded hardware module adopting EtherCAT bus and a software module based on Open Software Platform for Robotic Services (OPRoS) in the first paper and then we described the easy system integration procedure to develop a mobile manipulator using RIC in the second paper. In this paper, we address the 4th year research results for the commercialization and popularization of RIC through development of EtherCAT Core Modules, construction of the web server for the integrated management of RIC and customization of the OPRoS component editing tool. We expect that RIC is applicable to industrial filed more easily through this commercialization process.
