Web Based Virtual Robot Prototyping and Manufacturing

Web Based Virtual Robot Prototyping and Manufacturing: The Goal

A fully autonomous web / customer based manufacturing and prototyping plant for online custom built and designed manipulators, with complete simulation, analysis and interactive correction of the design parameters and requirements

The Prototype Environment

Overall Design

maintain a global information database.

communicate with the subsystems to update any changes

receive and report messages from the subsystems transfer data between the subsystems upon request

check constraints and apply some of the update rules

maintain design history deliver reports to the customer with the current status

Database Content

robot configuration design parameters available platforms design constraints subsystems information update rules general information about the system

Design Parameters: Subsystem Notification

Database Design Considerations

Complete Design Schema

customer web based interface data acquisition prototyping environment simulation based quality assurance and testing packaging and shipping manipulator based manipulator manufacturing
