Abstract
This paper introduces an integrated robot software package for advanced industrial robot applications with the aims to make industrial robots easy-to-operation, easy-to-programming, much more flexible with advanced capabilities. This software package is developed based on ROS (Robot Operation System) middleware and ROS-Industrial open source packages by integrating different function modules. The module design implementation of a graphic user interface, visual programming, intermediate robot language and simulation environment are presented. Utility and flexibility of the software package are evaluated through two experiment demos: automated robot bin-picking and automated robot 3d object taping, which has a potential to be used for a wide of robot applications.
