Objective
The objective of the INTERROB project is to improve the interoperability of the standards for information exchange in the robotic area of the CIM environment. The main standards addressed would be STEP (for exchange of product model data) and the Industrial Robot Language (IRL).
The approach will be to:
- identify the problems and provide solutions for the interoperability of STEP, IRL and other standards
- improve intersystem communication of robotics-relevant information to include data about tools, dynamic behaviour and control
- improve the model fidelity of robot control and the modelling depth of robot simulation in order to increase the accuracy of off-line programming
- facilitate the exchange of robot information via databases as well as neutral files
- enhance communication between product design, robot task planning, robot programming, and robot control via STEP and IRL.
The consortium will develop a close relationship with the ISO groups responsible for developing STEP.
A pilot demonstration and evaluation is foreseen in at least two industrial sites with commercially available CAD and robot systems. Products incorporating results of the project will be marketed by consortium members.
