A robotic system for a robot includes a programmable controller coupled to the robot and a teach pendant coupled to the programmable controller. The teach pendant is adapted to control the robot and includes a processor capable of operating the teach pendant and a display coupled to the processor. The teach pendant also includes a web browser. The web browser is adapted to accept input data in a standard format and display the input data on the display.

US Classification:
340953, 340947, 315130, 244114 R
Abstract:
A method and system for visually guiding an aircraft in its landing approach to a runway having an approach area equipped with approach lights operable in off, low, medium, and high intensity states. The lights are communicated with a secondary side of a transformer, which has a primary side with low, medium, and high taps that correspond to the light states. Off, low, medium, and high lighting intensity requests correspond to the low, medium, and high states of the plurality of lights. AC power is switched between the transformer taps in response to a request for an increase in lighting intensity. Power is sequentially applied to the taps by supplying the power to the low tap for a first predetermined time interval before supplying the power to the medium tap.

Synchronizing Controllers Linked By A Communications Network
A control system includes controllers that are coupled mutually by a communications network, on which information, transmitted from a master controller to a slave controller, is used to make timing corrections on the slave controller in order to synchronize event timers on the slave controller with that of the master controller. Timing accuracy for the occurrence of the event commanded by each controller is synchronized in narrow range of time, preferably within a few milliseconds depending on the specific application and system.
Flexible Connection Of Teaching Devices To Programmable Controllers
An apparatus provides selective communication between multiple programmable robot controllers and one or more teaching devices connected by a network. The network controls communication between the teaching devices and the controllers including active tasks and passive tasks for preventing communication of active tasks between any of the controllers and more than one of any of the teaching devices. The network permits communication of the passive tasks between any of the controllers and one of the teaching devices communicating active tasks with another one of the controllers.

International Classification:
G06F 19/00 G06F 15/16
US Classification:
700245, 709211, 901 50
Abstract:
A robot control system includes a line tracking encoder that measures a reference position of a conveyor line and transmits a tracking signal representing tracking data including the reference position of the conveyor line. A master controller is in communication with the encoder to receive the tracking signal, process the tracking data represented by the tracking signal, and generate a data packet in response to processing of the tracking data. A slave controller is in communication with the master controller and at least one robot for receiving the data packet and controlling the movement of the at least one robot in response to the data packet. A communications network directly interconnects the master controller and the slave controller and transmits the data packet from the master controller to the slave controller.

International Classification:
G06T 19/00
US Classification:
345419, 901 2
Abstract:
A system and a method for displaying a three-dimensional robotic workcell data includes generating the robotic workcell data, a display device including a web browser for receiving the robotic workcell data in a standard format and displaying a three-dimensional rendering of the robotic workcell data, and manipulating the three-dimensional rendering on the display device.
Method And System For Automatically Determining The Position And Attitude Of An Object

Assignee:
GMF Robotics Corporation - Troy MI
International Classification:
G06E 1546 B25J 900
US Classification:
364513
Abstract:
A method and system are provided for automatically determining the position and attitude of a three-dimensional body at a work station by utilizing three cameras each of which generates a non-overlapping plane of image data, including a single target point of the body without the use of structured light. The locations of the target points are determined and processed within a programmed computer together with calibration data relating to the expected position of the body in the work station to provide data relating to the position and attitude of the body with respect to the work station. The resultant data relating to the position and attitude of the body are subsequently transformed into a first set of offset data relating to the difference between the actual and expected positions of the body. The first set of offset data is then transformed into a second set of offset data in the coordinate system of a peripheral device such as a robot, programmable controller, numerically controlled machine, etc. Finally, the programmed computer transfers the second set of offset data to the peripheral device which utilizes the data to modify its pre-programmed path.
Dr. Krause graduated from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1975. He works in Aurora, CO and specializes in Psychiatry. Dr. Krause is affiliated with The Medical Center Of Aurora.
