Abstract

In the field of manufacturing, modern approaches like skills based programming are applied to robot controllers using well adopted standards for communication like the Open Platform Communications-Unified Architecture (OPC UA) [1] standard. The current research focuses at defining OPC UA models to enable skill based programming for robot controllers. This defines a complex environment for a process programmer, who has to implement a manufacturing process represented as a skill at a high level domain. This work attempts to reduce the programming effort of implementing a skill by reducing the complexity for programming the process executed by the robot. This is achieved by introducing a framework assuming a little to no prior knowledge of OPC UA. This work will verify the reduction of complexity by analysing the code complexity and by analysing the knowledge domains used.
