Abstract: A dummy tool is used to teach a robot the path the robot will follow to perform work on a workpiece to eliminate the possibility of damaging an actual tool during the training. The dummy tool provides the robot programmer an indication of potential collisions between the tool and the workpiece and other objects in the work cell when path is being taught. The dummy tool can have a detachable input/output device with a graphic user interface (GUI) that can communicate wirelessly with the robot controller. The dummy tool can also have a moveable camera attached thereto to track the relationship of the tool to objects in the work area.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling electrical power in a micro-grid, especially during islanding when the micro-grid is disconnected from a main grid is described. A potential load shedding for islanding is determined when the micro grid is connected to the main grid. The potential load shedding is performed when a grid switch that connects the micro-grid to a main grid opens. A frequency based load shedding and a frequency based control of power injections to the micro grid may also be performed. The frequency based load shedding is performed with a faster response than the power injection control during islanding. The frequency based power injection control is performed with a faster response than the frequency based load shedding when the micro grid is connected to the main grid. A load shedding controller, an energy storage controller and methods performed by the load shedding controller, and the energy storage controller, respectively, is also provided.
