Description
TalkRoBots is middleware that circumvents this interoperability issue. It enables heterogeneous robots using open and proprietary systems (ROS, ABB, etc.) to communicate and share information transparently. The technology also enables robots and environmental sensors to communicate with each other. TalkRoBots includes a cloud server that allows operators to dynamically plan manufacturing scenarios, monitor their status, access sensor data, and reconfigure the scenario.
Benefits: More advanced communication capabilities • Interoperability between heterogeneous robots using different systems (for example, an AGV can communicate equally well with another AGV or with an industrial manipulator robot)
• Easy planning and implementation of dynamic scenarios
• Ubiquity and easy integration of external IoT sensors or robots
• Distributed communication without the need for a centralized server
• No change in the language used by the robotics programmer
• Secure message exchange • Cost-effective and easy integration into existing systems
• Integrated AI to assist the operator in decision-making in the event of a breakdown.
