German research and development of "growth" welding robot


Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation, said on the 29th, the Institute has developed a welding robot, the operator can learn to work flow, work flow in post-master also bottom-up initiatives to improve the efficiency of recommendations.

The researchers said that in the testing phase, the operator guide the robot hand and specially designed to do welding action, the robot with a sensor system is "learning how to operate", but also through a graphical user interface and voice control system operator to accept the interpretation guidance.

Graphical user interface in the course of testing will be recorded in the workflow, or amended so as to determine process parameters, the final automatically by a computer system a set of summing up the working procedures of the robot. The press of a button, the robot will be the implementation of work procedures.

The researchers said that this robot system is the most attractive in the repeated implementation of process similar to the programming task can be automatically collecting the data, and basic data collection, after a sufficient change from passive to active, through the graphical user interface or is automatically generated voice or the expression of the recommendations of the relevant process parameters, waiting for the operator to confirm.

Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation, said, there is no basic knowledge of programming robot operators in a single day can learn to operate this robot system.
