Fraunhofer and ROS Industrial User of ROS since 2009 (service robot projects) Collaboration with SWRI since 2011 Organization of multiple ROS industrial workshops and trainings Founding the ROS-Industrial Consortium Europe in 2014 Involved in multiple ROS industrial connected research projects 3/27/2015 Managed by SwRI 7
Factory in a Day Reduce system integration time to one day 50% price reduction of fully integrated systems Handling of short production batches of SME s Short-term lease contracts for robots and machinery -> reduce investment risks Runtime 2013-2017 The project is funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union. 3/27/2015 Managed by SwRI 8
Goals of Factory in a Day Key breakthrough technologies to be developed: 1. Safe robot arms with novel proximity-sensing skin and dynamic contact-avoiding behaviors 2. Platform-independent harmonized robot software components for seamless integration with existing machinery and robots 3. Standard core hardware modules (e.g. adaptive grippers and arms) plus a procedure to use Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) for task specific parts 4. Fast teaching software for on-site robot programming, using domain-specific models and languages 3/27/2015 Managed by SwRI 9

Roles of ROS Industrial Develop a complete framework for the rapid installation of a mobile manipulation system in new environments to cooperate with onsite workers Software quality and robustness assessment infrastructure => Continuous integration (buildbot and now docker-based Jenkins) => Real world benchmarks Platform independent harmonized robot software components => ROS Industrial drivers and capabilities (extension and contribution) Robot deployment toolbox => Model-driven approach with multiple user roles Holistic rapid self-calibration routine 3/27/2015 Managed by SwRI 12
Focus: Philips use case Agile development approach: Short term iterations of industrial use cases every ~2-3 month => Robothon Currently Factory in 2 days First use cases from Philips shaver production Development of toolbox in advance Onsite application development and system integration, development of missing capabilities 3/27/2015 Managed by SwRI 13

Current status Development and improvement of: universal robot driver (https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot) BRIDE (https://github.com/ipa320/bride) New components (to be released): Palettizing Calibration Perception (halcon itf) 3/27/2015 Managed by SwRI 15
Outlook Coming in the next month: New use cases for Robothons (involvement of other companies) Rework of universal robot driver (ros-control based) Integration of skill framework [1] Iterate and find new gaps/impediments Open source more work [1]: Aertbeliën, Erwin, and Joris De Schutter.
