Abstract

This chapter deals with modeling, simulation, and implementation problems encountered in robotic manufacturing control systems. Extended Petri nets are adopted as a prototyping tool for expressing real-time control of robotic systems and a systematic method based on hierarchical Petri nets is described for their direct implementation. A coordination mechanism is introduced to coordinate the event activities of the distributed machine controllers through friability tests of shared global transitions. The proposed prototyping method allows a direct coding of the inter-task cooperation by robots and intelligent machines from the conceptual Petri net specification, so that it increases the traceability and the understanding of the control flow of a parallel application specified by a net model. This approach can be integrated with off-the-shelf real-time executives. Control software using multithreaded programming is demonstrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
