IQ on the Rise with Intelligent Robot Software

Atten­tion Star Wars fans: R2D2 may soon become a real­i­ty. Intel­li­gent Robots are for­mat­ted with the inten­tion of repro­duc­ing human sens­es. Just as humans see, hear, and touch, intel­li­gent robot soft­ware allows robots to use their ​“sens­es” to gath­er infor­ma­tion about their envi­ron­ment. The robots then use this data to make informed deci­sions for them­selves. The range of sen­sors allows the robot to actu­al­ly learn and rea­son about how to behave in response to envi­ron­men­tal triggers.

To make intel­li­gent deci­sions, robots need to be equipped with laser vision sen­sors and force sen­sors. Fanuc has devel­oped sev­er­al dif­fer­ent soft­ware options relat­ed to vision, such as 2D Vision Guid­ance, 3DL Vision Guid­ance, and Visu­al Line Tracking. 

One of the most sig­nif­i­cant intel­li­gent soft­ware options from Fanuc is their Learn­ing Vibra­tion Con­trol soft­ware. This pro­gram enables the robot to actu­al­ly learn the char­ac­ter­is­tics of a cer­tain appli­ca­tion path. The soft­ware records the path’s char­ac­ter­is­tics as the robot runs the path sev­er­al times to col­lect learn­ing data. The robot then can opti­mize the path data, thus improv­ing accel­er­a­tions and speeds, and there­fore, the cycle time. When used along with iRVi­sion and sec­ondary encoders, the soft­ware pro­vides less vibra­tion and high accuracy.

IRSP (Intel­li­gent Robot Soft­ware Plat­form) from AIBrain, Inc, is an intel­li­gent robot build­ing soft­ware for devel­op­ers of all lev­els. IRSP inte­grates many com­po­nents, soft­ware and hard­ware, and auto­mat­i­cal­ly rec­og­nizes the avail­abil­i­ty of such devices. It also sup­ports the need to build intel­li­gence quickly.

Final­ly, Aware 2 Robot Intel­li­gence Soft­ware from iRo­bot pro­vides the struc­ture for devel­op­ing net­worked robot appli­ca­tions that are based on intel­li­gent behav­ior. Users can cre­ate and uti­lize high-lev­el behav­iors imme­di­ate­ly. Aware 2 also uses mod­ern tools such as web-based data management. 

There are many types of intel­li­gent robot soft­ware sys­tems out there, but if you would like to know more about how to incor­po­rate this type of soft­ware into your indus­tri­al robot, con­tact Robots​.com at 877−762−6881.
