TY - CHAP A1 - Eltester, Niklas Sebastian A1 - Ferrein, Alexander A1 - Schiffer, Stefan T1 - A smart factory setup based on the RoboCup logistics league T2 - 2020 IEEE Conference on Industrial Cyberphysical Systems (ICPS) N2 - In this paper we present SMART-FACTORY, a setup for a research and teaching facility in industrial robotics that is based on the RoboCup Logistics League. It is driven by the need for developing and applying solutions for digital production. Digitization receives constantly increasing attention in many areas, especially in industry. The common theme is to make things smart by using intelligent computer technology. Especially in the last decade there have been many attempts to improve existing processes in factories, for example, in production logistics, also with deploying cyber-physical systems. An initiative that explores challenges and opportunities for robots in such a setting is the RoboCup Logistics League. Since its foundation in 2012 it is an international effort for research and education in an intra-warehouse logistics scenario. During seven years of competition a lot of knowledge and experience regarding autonomous robots was gained. This knowledge and experience shall provide the basis for further research in challenges of future production. The focus of our SMART-FACTORY is to create a stimulating environment for research on logistics robotics, for teaching activities in computer science and electrical engineering programmes as well as for industrial users to study and explore the feasibility of future technologies. Building on a very successful history in the RoboCup Logistics League we aim to provide stakeholders with a dedicated facility oriented at their individual needs.

Here, the power of the device under test (DUT) ranges from some Watts to a few hundred Watts. The torque and speed of the DUT are measured independent of voltage and current in multiple load points. A Matlab-based software approach in combination with an open Texas-Instruments (TI) hardware setup ensures flexibility. Exemplarily, the efficiency field of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) is measured to proof the concept. Brushless-DC (BLDC) motors can be tested as well. The nomenclature in this paper is based on the new European standard DIN EN 50598. Special attention is paid to the calculation of the measurement error.

S. 165-174 Zusammenfassung der Autoren: "Abschließend kann festgehalten werden, dass die gesamten durchgeführten Überlegungen von den Messergebnissen der Inbetriebnahme positiv bestätigt werden. Es wird durch diese Topologie eine maximale Systemverfügbarkeit garantiert und die Zellen werden optimal betrieben. Ein Blick in die Zukunft für dieses Projekt zeigt viele Erweiterungs- und Optimierungsaufgaben. So muss der DC/DC-Wandler für einen bidirektionalen Betrieb erweitert werden, um einen Rekuperationsbetrieb zu gewährleisten bzw. die Zellen laden zu können. Dadurch können gleichzeitig die Gleichrichterdioden im Sekundärleistungsteil durch IGBTs oder MOSFETs ersetzt werden. Die voll funktionsfähige Version des DC/DC-Wandlers könnte höchstwahrscheinlich direkt auf die Anschlusspole der Zelle montiert werden, wodurch das Gewicht gesenkt wird. Durch die verringerte Verlustleistung in den Zuleitungen könnte der Wirkungsgrad noch einmal gesteigert werden.

ROS is a robot middleware that is used my many research institutions world-wide. Therefore, many state-of-the-art algorithms of mobile robotics are available in ROS and can be deployed very easily. As a basic robot platform we deploy a 1/10 RC cart that is wquipped with an Arduino micro-controller to control the servo motors, and an embedded PC that runs ROS. In two weeks, participants get to learn the basics of mobile robotics hands-on. We describe our teaching concepts and our curriculum and report on the learning success of our students.
