Abstract

Current robot control is a rather static, monolithic application, where the application data has to be programmed, before the actual process starts. For the automation of more dynamical tasks, additional real-time control loops for process control and a more flexible robot control are needed. Therefore, this paper introduces a robot control architecture for real-time and separate asynchronous communication, which is able to build up local real-time control loops as well as including massively scalable cloud components. In a proof-of-concept, a multibody dynamic simulation of a robot and a controller are virtualized as separate components. The real-time suitability of the architecture is evaluated in comparison with non-virtualized and a monolithic variant of the same application.
