Abstract:
Robotics has had a transformative impact on manufacturing, and will continue to do so as robots progress to collaborate with humans. To do this, robots must become easier to program and interact with. In this paper we present SysML as a modeling language to enable simplified robot programming through abstraction. We give a brief introduction to SysML, its structure and benefits, and describe our method for modeling assembly tasks with SysML. We then show how this can be applied to a physical assembly task on a real robot.
