ENHANCEMENT OF HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI) FOR CONTROLLING A ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025034 titled 'ENHANCEMENT OF HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI) FOR CONTROLLING A ROBOT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and device for enhancing the human-machine interface (HMI) to control a robot. The method involves monitoring user manipulation input on the enhanced HMI, generating a program for the enhanced HMI based on the monitored manipulation, retrieving action information for the robot's operation from a proprietary HMI program, generating a corresponding program in the proprietary HMI program environment, and controlling the robot to perform the operation using the generated program.
- The method enhances the HMI for controlling a robot.
- User manipulation input is monitored on the enhanced HMI.
- A program is generated for the enhanced HMI based on the monitored manipulation.
- Action information for the robot's operation is retrieved from a proprietary HMI program.
- A corresponding program is generated in the proprietary HMI program environment.
- The robot is controlled to perform the operation using the generated program.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Industrial automation: The enhanced HMI can be used to control robots in manufacturing processes, improving efficiency and precision.
- Healthcare: Robots can be controlled through an enhanced HMI to assist in surgeries or provide care to patients, reducing the risk of human error.
- Home automation: The enhanced HMI can be used to control robots for tasks like cleaning, cooking, or security, providing convenience and assistance to homeowners.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Complex robot control: The method simplifies the control of robots by enhancing the HMI, making it easier for users to manipulate and control the robot's actions.
- Integration of proprietary HMI programs: The method allows for the retrieval and integration of action information from a proprietary HMI program, enabling compatibility and interoperability between different systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience: The enhanced HMI provides a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for controlling robots, enhancing the overall user experience.
- Increased efficiency: By simplifying the control process and integrating different HMI programs, the method improves the efficiency of robot operations.
- Flexibility and compatibility: The method allows for the use of different HMI programs and enables the control of robots from various systems, providing flexibility and compatibility in robot control.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for providing an enhanced human-machine interface to control a robot, and a device supporting the method is provided. according to one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes: monitoring a manipulation input by a user for an operation of the robot on the enhanced hmi, which is enhanced from a proprietary hmi proprietary to the robot; generating a first program in a first program environment for the enhanced hmi in response to the monitored manipulation; retrieving action information relating to actions to be performed as part of the operation of the robot, wherein the actions are defined in a second program environment for the proprietary hmi; generating a second program in the second program environment corresponding to the first program by using the retrieved action information; and controlling the robot to perform the operation using the second program.
