Abstract

This paper describes a software architecture for industrial robots used in manufacturing equipment. In order to achieve software portability, the application software is dissociated from the low-level robot controller software. The interaction between these two pieces of software is achieved by a portable application programming interface (API) for industrial robots. We discuss the requirements for such an API, and propose a design called PINROB.

Supported in part by the Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología of the Spanish Government under grant number TAP97-892
