Dear ROS Community,
I just want to remind you of the opportunity to participate in a survey
on Features For Flexible Robotic Systems --- The final deadline is
October 31st.
Many of you already participated in our survey - Thank you!
Please go to
www.1000minds.com/go/dti and state your preferences for
robotic systems – in flexible manufacturing scenarios.
-- See details below --
In recent years, much effort has been spent on robotic systems for
flexible production environments, specifically aimed at the Small and
Medium Enterprise (SME) segment. There is a general consensus that
reconfigurability, adaptability and intuitive reprogramming are
necessary features – but which features are the most important for such
systems?
Must such systems automatically adapt to (minor) changes in the
productions, enable fast reconfiguration by experts, or should the
instruction/programming be possible for non-skilled users?
As part of current research at the Danish Technological Institute, we
are investigating just this: which features are the most important for
such flexible robotic systems?
Follow this link to sign up for participation:
https://www.1000minds.com/go/dti
We are asking you to rank features of such flexible robotic systems
through the survey. Participants are asked to rank the following system
features based on the main question:
Which of the following features would you prefer in a robotic system for
flexible manufacturing in low-volume scenarios?
(Assuming they are identical on all other parameters…)
· The system allows existing personnel easily to adapt it to changes
in production.
· The system enables fast instruction of new processes by existing
personnel.
· The system interaction interface can be used to control and
configure many different units (different robots, sensors, actuators, etc.).
· The system can automatically adjust to changes in the production
environment.
· The system facilitates fast changeover between existing processes
already programmed in the system.
· The system enables the same hardware and/or software to be reused
for different tasks/processes.
· The system enables fast reconfiguration of hardware and software
to accommodate new processes.
· The system enables fast integration of sensors, actuators and
other units (cameras, distance sensors, robots, fixtures etc.)
· New functionality can easily be integrated into an existing system.
· The system is controllable from a multitude of devices (PC,
tablet, smartphones, etc.)
· The system is controllable from a single device.
Please distribute this request for participation within your, to help
gather as much usable information as possible. Further details on the
survey is available at
