Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an automation assembly which has a robot assembly with at least one robot (10) and a detection means assembly with at least one detection means (21-23), said method having the following at least partly automated steps: providing (S10) a first sequence of first ordinate data (q1, q2, dq2/dt, ?1, ?2) assigned to successive first abscissa points (t) on the basis of first training data (q1, q2, ?1, X2); identifying (S20) a first event point (tE) within the first abscissa points of the first sequence; and determining (S30) a first event criterion on the basis of the first sequence and the first event point.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for programming a controller to control a process. A training module is trained to provide predicted responses of the process to control signals using a generic simulator to model the process. Once the training module has been trained, the controller is programmed to control the process by coupling the controller to the training module and using the training module to generate predicted responses of the process to the reception of control signals from the controller. As part of the programming process, one or more parameters of a control program resident on the controller may be adjusted to reduce errors between the responses predicted by the training module and the desired responses intended to be caused by the control signals.

Abstract: A method for determining an orientation or installation of a robot relative to a direction of gravity for at least one installation location of the robot, and for horizontal alignment or alignment relative to the direction of gravity of a robot includes creating a model wherein joint forces are identified in at least one calibration pose. The robot is then into a new installation location and the joint forces of the robot are identified in at least one measuring pose. Based on the identified joint forces and the model of the robot, the orientation, i.e. the orientation or the installation, of the robot relative to the direction of gravity is determined. The orientation of the robot is corrected by tilting the robot base such that the identified joint forces do not deviate from the forces defined in the model.
