| 主要内容:Besides the typical use of industrial robots in a munufiicturing setting, new application areas for robots huve been appeuring during the past few years. In these areas, service robots pelform general purpose activities without requiring repeuted high speed movements or other requirements of industrial robot applications. For the development of service robots, the use and integration of research results obtained in the autonomous robot field is much more necessury than for the development of robots used in manufucturing. Both, high autonomy during service performance and simple system access, which also means flexible progrumniing or userfriendly system control is desired over un easily operated nwnmachine inlevace. In this puper, properlies of service robots are defined and some similurities und differences between service robots aFdfully autonomous robots ure expluined. The second part of the paper deuls with the enhancement of an existing autonomous assembly robot, which is made to be U flexible service robot for industrial environments. The paper concludes with a running experiment, which shows how this robot prototype is used for different tasks in a nwnufucturing line... |
