HYBRID TRAINING WITH COLLABORATIVE AND CONVENTIONAL ROBOTS

摘要

Systems and methods for simultaneously and economically providing high speed and precision robotic operations with operational safety include directly performing training movements of a desired task on a collaborative robot, recording data corresponding to the training movements, and transmitting the recorded data to a conventional robot to cause the conventional robot to autonomously execute the training movements in accordance with the received data.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a. at least two robots each having at least one appendage, a first robot being safely operable proximate to human workers and a second robot not being safely operable proximate to human workers; b. a first communication module and a first robotic controller in the first robot; c. a second communication module and a second robotic controller in the second robot; and d. a training module in the first robot, the training module being configured to:
(i) computationally record digital data corresponding to training movements manually executed on the first robot appendage; and(ii) cause transmission, via the first communication module, of the digital data to the second communication module, wherein the second robot controller is responsive to the digital data and causes the second robot to autonomously execute the training movements.
