State Machine Based Architecture to Increase Flexibility of Dual-Arm Robot Programming

  • Conference paper
Bioinspired Computation in Artificial Systems (IWINAC 2015)

Abstract

This paper introduces a state machine based architecture with the aim of increasing flexibility of dual-arm robot programming. The proposed architecture allows absolute control of the execution, easing coordination of the arms if necessary. This work attempts to deal with dual-arm robotic programming challenges, providing a robust and reliable core which is able to interconnect different software modules where each one provides different capabilities. A pilot station is under development at Airbus Operations plant in Puerto Real, Spain.
