Modelling of intelligent robot system by reverse engineering and swarm intelligence

Abstract

The paper proposes the design of the intelligent robot system by reverse engineering and optimisation of the resistance welding application. Building of the system starts with the design of the virtual robot model by reverse engineering method. By that method, the user programme interface of the older robot ACMA XR701 is modernised. Building of the system continues with the incorporation of the TCP/IP-RS232 communication interface ensuring the control of the robot through internet. In the end, superstructuring of the robot system with the optimisation module, based on the swarm intelligence, is proposed. © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
