Testbed for the development of intelligent robot control
The Sensor Driven Robot Systems Testbed has been constructed to provide a working environment to aid in the development of intelligent robot control software. The Testbed employs vision and force as the robot's means of interrogating its environment. The Testbed, which has been operational for approximately 24 months, consists of a PUMA-560 robot manipulator coupled to a 2-dimensional vision system and force and torque sensing wrist. Recent work within the Testbed environment has led to a highly modularized control software concept with emphasis on detection and resolution of error situations. The objective of the Testbed is to develop intelligent robot control concepts incorporating planning and error recovery which are transportable to a wide variety of robot applications. This project is an ongoing, longterm development project and, as such, this paper represents a status report of the development work.
