Communication among different machines
The goal of this project was the managing of two robotic arms (UR3, Franca Emica Panda) and an autonomous truck (MIR100) by a program that allows integrated and automated work. The devices cannot be controlled directly, there is only a limited possibility to send the data, so each device had to execute a state-of-the-art program that processes the command received and performs the task associated with that command. Programs should be carefully designed, in particular to deal with errors. The program had to be written in parallel on the control computer and on the devices. Elements were UR3 – MIR100 – Panda communication, MODBUS programming and encoding, automated processes.
