XRob software platform
Robot programming made easy
The research company Profactor is presenting the XRob software system for flexible robotics at Automatica. It enables even inexperienced people to work with robots.
The XRob solution is already being used successfully in industry and covers a wide range of industrial applications. This currently ranges from visual inspection and handling to screwing in the assembly line. "A single, simple and intuitive interface is all we need," says Andreas Pichler, Chief Technology Officer at Profactor. "The system can be quickly and easily configured for a new task by workers and operators on the line." The changeover and teaching of a new task takes less than two minutes.
According to the manufacturer, XRob technology means simple, recipe-based programming for the worker. This is based on teach-in, demonstration or 3D scans of components and the environment. The software platform combines the classic tasks of robot control with new programming methods and findings from research. Cognitive intelligence, machine learning and augmented reality are all incorporated into the further development of the XRob platform, enabling even inexperienced people to work with robots.
In future, complex, multi-stage assembly and manufacturing processes will be mapped quickly and easily. Robots can thus support production along the entire value chain.
Software also has the environment under control
The safe and flexible use of the system is ensured, among other things, by an in-house development from Profactor. The modeling tool Reconstruct Me is fully integrated for 3D scanning of the workspace before commissioning. The software allows a collision model of the environment to be created within a few minutes, without CAD support or manual measuring. as
