| additional remarks | The factory of future will involve humans and robots working in close co-operation in the “fenceless cells”. This involves an intelligent FactoryFloor (FF) manager which can optimizes production plan and partly re-configures factory resources (Robots and humans) to manufacture customized products at low cost. The obvious challenge, irrespective of product being manufactured, is safety of humans. One of the approaches to guarantee the safety is to observe the entire factory floor using multiple sensors (cameras, lasers etc.) and detect risk scenarios (human approaching dangerously close to a moving robot). The smart sensors detect these scenarios and relay the information to FF manager. FF manager then takes necessary steps to avert the hazard. The intelligent robots (moving Robotinos to begin with) are assigned a task to pick and place objects following a particular path. The autonomous robots must recognize any risk scenarios locally and react intelligently (by either stopping or deviating from the predefined trajectory). The Robots must also react to control information relayed by the FF manager. |
