    Abstract: A method for applying machine learning to an application includes: a) generating a set of candidate parameters by a learner; b) executing a program in at least one simulated application based on the set of candidate parameters and providing interim results of tested sets of candidate parameters based on a measured performance information of the execution of the program; c) collecting a predetermined number of interim results and providing an end result based on a combination of the candidate parameters and the measured performance information by a trainer; and d) generating a new set of candidate parameters by the learner based on the end result for execution by the unchanged program.

    Abstract: A method for trajectory planning in a robotic system comprising at least two robotic units includes a state vector of each robotic unit, which comprises position components and velocity components and is variable with time and independently from input into every other robotic unit. A trajectory defines the motion of said robotic units from an initial state to a final state and is determined by finding the trajectory that minimizes a predetermined cost function. The cost function is set to be a function of the state vectors of all robotic units, and is minimized under a constraint which defines a vector difference between at least the position components of the state vectors of said robotic units at an instant of said trajectory.

    Abstract: A method for applying machine learning to an application includes: a) generating a candidate policy by a learner; b) executing a program in at least one simulated application based on a set of candidate parameters provided based on the candidate policy and a state of the at least one simulated application, execution of the program providing interim results of tested sets of candidate parameters based on a measured performance information of the execution of the program; c) collecting a predetermined number of interim results and providing an end result based on a combination of the candidate parameters and/or the state with the measured performances information by a trainer; and d) generating a new candidate policy by the learner based on the end result.

    Abstract: A method of programming an industrial robot includes: providing the robot, the robot having a robot arm with an end-effector mounted thereto which is controlled by a robot control unit to manipulate a workpiece which is arranged in a workplace of the robot; associating a target coordinate system with the workplace; taking an image of the workplace and the workpiece by an image capturing device; transmitting the image to a computing device having a human-machine-interface to generate control code for controlling the robot, which is transmitted to the robot control unit; capturing an image of the workplace and the workpiece to be manipulated by the robot; transferring the captured image to the computing device and displaying the captured image on a display associated with the computing device; and displaying the workpiece on the display; marking the workpiece with a marker-object on the display.

    Abstract: A system and method for testing the padding of a robotic manipulator includes at least one sensor; a processing unit; and an output unit. The at least one sensor is configured to acquire sensor data of a robotic manipulator. The at least one sensor is configured to provide the sensor data to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to determine information relating to padding applied to the robotic manipulator, wherein the determination comprises a comparison of the sensor data with reference data. The output unit is configured to output the information relating to the padding applied to the robotic manipulator.

    Abstract: A method for implementing a safety configuration for a manipulator comprising an end effector comprises: a) reading an action instruction from a manipulator control program, the instruction defining at least one of a path to be followed by the end effector, a target position to be reached by the end effector, a target pose to be assumed by the end effector and an action to be carried out by a tool wielded by the end effector; b) reading at least one constraint instruction from the manipulator control program, the constraint instruction defining a constraint to be observed while carrying out an action instruction; and c) carrying out the action instruction read in step a) while respecting the constraint defined in the at least one constraint instruction, or transferring the manipulator into a safety mode if violation of the at least one constraint is detected while carrying out the action instruction.
