PX01-Switch: A Hardware Extension for KUKA Robot Controller Enabling Realtime Safe Operation

Poustinchi, Ebrahim

Full Article:

PX01-Switch is a research investigation based on an internationally filed patent by the author, focused on human-robot interaction and robotic control/motion in the field of design (Poustinchi, E. 2020). Using hardware solutions, PX01-Switch enables users—with limited or no programming background, to convert any simple or complicated “offline” developed robotic operations for KUKA robots, to realtime online operational strategies without needing any additional software package or coding knowledge. Operating as a hardware plug-in, PX01-Switch—as a device, can be added to any KUKA robot with the 4th generation controller—KRC4, regardless of the robot's type and payload. PX01-Switch aims to make realtime robotic interaction more accessible to general users, by simplifying some of the advanced programming aspects of the process, at the cost of reducing the operation/interaction resolution.
