N2 - Esprit Project 6457 "Interoperability of Standards for Robotics in
CIME (InterRob)" belongs to the Subprogramme "Integration in
Manufacturing" of Esprit, the European Specific Programme for
Research and Development in Information Technology supported by
the European Commision.The first main goal of InterRob was to
close the information chain between product design, simulation,
programming, and robot control by developing standardized
interfaces and their software implementation for standards STEP
(International Standard for the Exchange of Product model data,
ISO 10303) and IRL (Industrial Robot Language, DIN 66312). This is
a continuation of the previous Esprit projects CAD*I and NIRO,
which developed substantial basics of STEP.The InterRob approach
is based on standardized models for product geometry, kinematics,
robotics, dynamics and control, hence on a coherent neutral
information model of the process chain from design to
manufacturing.The second main goal of the project was to increase
the accuracy of off-line programmed robots by improving the
conformance of robot simulation with the real world, and by
on-line adjustments in robot control to modify actual positions
and speed of the robot tool. In industrial applications it was
demonstrated that complete off-line programming will significantly
shorten production preparation and will increase product quality
as well as productivity and return on investment for expensive
installations.
