Publication number: 20220388167Abstract: In order to be able to automatically eliminate discrepancies, arising in the course of the configuration of a robot-object system environment, between the reality of the robot-object system environment and its digital representation as a CAD model, without manual on-site commissioning of the robot-object system environment with adaptation of the CAD model to the reality, the following is proposed for configuring a robot-object system environment having at least one object and having a robot for object manipulation and object sensing: synchronizing a digital robot twin, which digitally represents the robot-object system environment and controls the robot for the object manipulation on the basis of a control program, for expedient use of the robot in the robot-object system environment during the object manipulation, appropriately and, in this regard, in one or two stages.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Frederik Deroo, Vincent Dietrich, Robert Eidenberger, Daniel Meyer-Delius Di Vasto, Philipp Sebastian Schmitt, Florian Wirnshofer

Patent number: 10857997Abstract: In order to control a technical system, a user control variable is read in and a plurality of control variable variants of the user control variable are generated. A respective trajectory of the technical system is extrapolated for the user control variable and for the control variable variants, for which a respective reliability is evaluated. Furthermore, a respective distance of each control variable variant to the user control variable is determined. The user control variable is then selected as a control signal for the technical system in the event that the trajectory extrapolated for the user control variable is evaluated as reliable. Otherwise, a control variable variant with an extrapolated trajectory evaluated as reliable is selected from the control variable variants as a control signal, wherein a control variable variant with a low distance is preferably selected. Finally, the control signal for controlling the technical system is emitted.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2016Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Inventors: Robert Eidenberger, Werner Neubauer

Publication number: 20190234440Abstract: In order for a multiplicity of components of the same type to be fastened by bracing by means of dissimilar caulking pieces, a first component by an actuator is braced in a force-fitting manner in relation to a first caulking piece. A first bracing parameter herein is measured by a first sensor during the bracing procedure. A second caulking piece is then selected so as to depend on the first bracing parameter, a second component by the actuator being braced in a force-fitting manner in relation to said second caulking piece.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventor: ROBERT EIDENBERGER

Patent number: 9511983Abstract: A method for calibrating a first movable part of a crane. Position a first crane part above a calibration point at a first predetermined co-ordinate in a reference system. Measure a first distance between a first transmitter/receiver element of a first distance measuring device mounted on the first movable crane part and a second transmitter/receiver element of the first distance measuring device disposed in a stationary manner in the reference system. Measure an orientation of the first transmitter/receiver element in accordance with the first predetermined co-ordinate, the measured first distance and a first item of information concerning the surroundings. Perform a transformation in the reference system in accordance with the ascertained orientation of the first transmitter/receiver element for transforming distance measured during operating of the crane by means of the first and second transmitter/receiver elements to determine a position of the first movable crane part.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES GERMANY GMBHInventors: Robert Eidenberger, Dirk Rehbein, Thomas Wösch

Patent number: 9373199Abstract: A device to provide data of an autonomous system is configured to receive, from the autonomous system, data that are generated by the autonomous system, and to send the received data to an archiving device for storage. The archiving device is arranged external to the autonomous system and is independent of the operation of the autonomous system. The device provides the stored data for an independent evaluation device. An improved data provision is ensured by the storage of the data accumulating in the autonomous system, independent of the operation of the autonomous system. The provided data can be used for maintenance or setup of the autonomous system. An autonomous system includes such a device, and a method to provide data of an autonomous system; and a method to produce an autonomous system operate by using such a device.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2014Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Sebastian Dippl, Robert Eidenberger
