Description

Skill-based robotic reconfigurable cyber-physical production modules (RCPPMs) have an aggregated structure, and their functionality depends on the submodules and components that define their current topology. This application-oriented paper proposes a method for integrating the OPC UA Relative Spatial Location (RSL) Companion Specification models and the ROS2 tf2-library functionality to automatically update the SRL models of the RCPPMs when their structure changes. This enables the proper composition and sharing of the necessary information regarding the kinematic structure of each RCPPM’s submodule. On an example, we illustrate how this approach can be employed to enhance the coupling functionality of the skill-based robotic RCPPMs.
