1 Easy Robot Programming for Industrial Manipulators by Manual Volume Sweeping *Yusuke MAEDA, Tatsuya USHIODA and Satoshi MAKITA (Yokohama National University) MAEDA Lab INTELLIGENT & INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS

2 Motivation Industrial manipulators are becoming cheaper Cost of robot programming: a barrier to robot dissemination among small-sized companies Easy robot programming methods are highly demanded 2

3 Teaching Playback Conventional teaching playback with teach pendant Complicated and time-consuming for novice operators Human operators must teach everything Understanding robot kinematics and specifications is required for shorter cycle time 3

4 Previous Approach (1) Lead-through teaching (Direct teaching) Operators move robots manually by grasping their end-effectors for teaching playback Intuitive for novices Operators must teach good robot motions by themselves yet 4

5 Previous Approach (2) Offline programming with motion planning algorithms Well-optimized robot motions can be obtained automatically Planned motions must be modified due to errors in robot motions and alignment Environmental information such as obstacles must be modeled and inputted to system 5

6 Demands on Robot Programming Easy for novice operators Executable in a short time Robot motion with short cycle time can be obtained 6

7 Objective To propose a robot programming method that enables novice operators to generate robot motions with short cycle time We focus on robot programming for part handling 7

8 Outline Introduction Overview of Proposed Robot Programming Robot Programming Details Teaching Experiments Conclusion 8

9 Our Approach How to combine the advantages of both direct teaching and motion planning? intuitive operation for novices automatic generation of well-optimized motion 9

10 Swept Volumes by Robot Bodies Swept volume by robot bodies in Cartesian space stands for (a part of) free space [Hasegawa 04] because the bodies have passed through the volume without collisions A Swept Volume as a Free Space Application of this idea to ordinary robot programming 10

11 Procedure of Our Proposed Robot Programming 1. Manual Volume Sweeping 2. Swept Volume Computation 3. Motion Planning 4. Motion Execution 11

12 Outline Introduction Overview of Proposed Robot Programming Robot Programming Details Teaching Experiments Conclusion 12

13 Manual Volume Sweeping Operator moves robot around so that its bodies sweep a volume without colliding obstacles Robot is damping-controlled All joint data are recorded 13

14 Teaching Initial/Goal Configurations Initial and goal configurations are taught additionally during manual volume sweeping 14

15 Swept Volume Computation Swept volume as a free space of robot is calculated from recorded joint data Octree representation used 15

16 Motion Planning A well-optimized path from initial to goal configuration within swept volume is generated MPK (by Stanford Univ.) is used in our implementation 16

17 Total Procedure 17

18 Features of Our Proposed Method Manual volume sweeping Environmental information is available by easy operation Note: Swept volume in Cartesian space contains robot configurations through which the robot has not passed in volume sweeping Online teaching of initial/goal configurations High accuracy around these crucial points Motion planning Automatic generation of well-optimized robot motions 18

19 Outline Introduction Overview of Proposed Robot Programming Robot Programming Details Teaching Experiments Conclusion 19

20 Experimental Setup Mitsubishi RV-1A (6 DOF manipulator) with Nitta force sensor Controlled by a PC running on ART-Linux 20

21 Target Task Pick-and-place Gripper open/close was skipped for simplicity path to be programmed goal obstacle start table table 21

22 Tested Methods Five novice operators tested the following methods: Proposed : Robot programming by manual volume sweeping Teach Pendant : Teaching playback using a teach pendant Direct Teach : Teaching playback by direct teaching 22

23 Total Time for Programming A Proposed Teach Pendant Direct Teach B Operator C D E time [s] 23

24 Time for Manual Operation offline computation A Proposed Teach Pendant Direct Teach B Operator C D E time [s] 24

25 Example: Operator D s Case Proposed Manual operation: 600 [s] Offline computation: 190 [s] Cycle time: 2.2 [s] Teach Pendant Manual operation: 750 [s] Cycle time: 2.8 [s] Direct Teach Manual operation: 330 [s] Cycle time: 2.9 [s] 25

26 Cycle Time The proposed method can generate robot motions with short cycle time without heavy manual operations in most cases A B Operator C D E N/A Proposed Teach Pendant Direct Teach time [s] 26

27 Discussion Failure of motion planning Narrow passage problem? Using path in manual volume sweeping Additional manual volume sweeping 27

28 Conclusion A robot programming method with manual volume sweeping was proposed It showed good performance in teaching experiments by novice operators in comparison with conventional approaches 28

29 Future Work More efficient computation of swept volumes User-friendly Interfaces e.g. real-time display of swept volumes Measures against failure of motion planning Using path in manual volume sweeping Additional manual volume sweeping 29
