摘要:
This paper develops a design and fabrication process management platform for prototyping practice environments using a robot operating system (ROS) framework, which we refer to as a fabricating operating service (FOS). The FOS executes a sequence of fabrication workflow that goes from materials handling, positioning, fabrication simulation, executing process to parts assembling. Each work phase is considered a different activity in the execution phase and a compact printed circuit board node to send and receive physical data. These nodes are registered onto an FOS cloud master, which distributes the node-to-node communication and links up the entire sequence of the workflow map. We propose FOS given that its loose, coupled, and distributed computation framework allows the fabrication team to visualize and record data using sharable ROS package structures. The FOS provides the advantage of easily creating additional tools, configurations, and automated scripts, and it increases the fabrication capabilities by simplifying and providing solutions for future robotic-aided fabrication development
