Robot project

This is the project article for the Robot project. It follows the rules of the | Getting things done process. The projects are collected in the Development roadmap.

Purpose and principles
This project should lay down the principal technologies for a realistic robot simulation in FreeCAD. In the first step it targets the standard 6-axis industrial robot.

Outcome
Robot simulation



Libs in field

 * OROCOSlibs for inverse kinematic
 * ROBOOP targets directly to robot simulation, but seems inactive.

Standards for communication

 * OPC UA to communicate with PLCs
 * RRS-II German standard for robot simulation communication

Middleware for comunication

 * D-Bus
 * CORBA

Commercial products in that field

 * Visual Components
 * Delmia
 * KUKA Sim

Knowledge

 * Kinematic definition
 * Roboter VRML modele

Organizing
