Universal construction robotics interface

摘要

A method and a system of integrating a new robot into a work environment are provided. A controller receives a signal indicating a presence of a new robot in the work environment. The controller then establishes a negotiation channel between the controller and the new robot and begins to negotiate with the new robot a set of robotic functions controllable by the controller. Based on a comparison between a set of function attributes the new robot and interface attributes of the controller, the controller generates a new robot user interface for controlling the set of robotic functions of the new robot.

1. A method of integrating a new robot into a work environment, comprising:
receiving, by a controller, a signal indicating a presence of the new robot in the work environment; in response to the signal, establishing a negotiation channel between the controller and the new robot; receiving, by the controller via the negotiation channel, a dictionary comprising definitions of a set of primitive robotic functions from the new robot; negotiating, by the controller via the negotiation channel, with the new robot a set of robotic functions controllable by the controller, wherein the set of robotic functions comprises a set of non-primitive robotic functions generated from the set of primitive robotic functions; selecting a set of selected interface primitives by comparing function attributes of the set of robotic functions to interface attributes of interface primitives; generating a robot user interface, by the controller, from the set of selected interface primitives, wherein the robot user interface is configured to control the set of robotic functions; and configuring the controller to provide access to the robot user interface within the work environment.
