Abstract: Identifying critical zones of machines is provided. A digital twin simulation of a machine is performed. An analysis of a set of historical incident records corresponding to the machine is performed to determine areas surrounding the machine that will be impacted by propagation of different types of incidents corresponding to the machine. A task performed by the machine, an operating context of the machine, an aggregate energy of the machine, and an area in the industrial machine environment affected by propagation of released energy from the machine are identified based on the digital twin simulation and the analysis of the set of historical incident records. A set of critical zones corresponding to the machine is identified based on the task performed by the machine, the operating context of the machine, the aggregate energy of the machine, and the area in the industrial machine environment affected by propagation of released energy.

Abstract: Embodiments provide functionality to prevent collisions between robots and objects. An example embodiment detects a type and a location of an object based on a camera image of the object, where the image has a reference frame. Motion of the object is then predicted based on at least one of: the detected type of the object, the detected location of the object, and a model of object motion. To continue, a motion plan for the robot is generated that avoids having the robot collide with the object based on the predicted motion of the object and a transformation between the reference frame of the image and a reference frame of the robot. The robot can be controlled to move in accordance with the motion plan or a signal can be generated that controls the robot to operate in accordance with the motion plan.

Abstract: On the basis of a numerical control program for controlling the motion of a machine tool 2, a motion-path generation device 55 generates a motion path concerning control axes of a robot 3 provided in proximity to the machine tool 2. The motion-path generation device 55 comprises: a model update unit 57 that acquires start coordinate values on the control axes and current tool coordinate values of the machine tool 2 and updates a robot system model on the basis of these coordinate values, the robot system model being configured by disposing three-dimensional models of the robot 3, the machine tool 2, and objects in the vicinity of the machine tool 2 in a virtual space; an interference-avoiding-path generation unit 56 that generates a target motion path starting from the start coordinate values and arriving at end coordinate values on the control axes, the end coordinate values being specified on the basis of the numerical control program, while avoiding interference in the robot system model; and a data transmission/reception unit 59 that transmits an instruction including the target motion path to a robot control device 6.

Abstract: Image sensors distributed about a workcell including industrial machinery are registered using a registration object and an information tag associated therewith. The tag contains information specifying the location of the object and/or the pose of the object. This information is acquired along with images of the registration object, and the sensors are registered based at least in part on the images and the acquired information.
