Abstract:
Production of carbon fiber reinforced plastics is nowadays mainly done by hand, as process automation is very difficult. This paper presents first steps towards robot-based automation of such complex processes: a simulation environment performing collision free motion planning for cooperating robots is combined with an object-oriented, real-time capable control framework for industrial robots. First qualitative results from an industrial setting are presented.
