G06G 7/48

US Classification:

378 65, 705 2, 703 7, 703 6

Abstract:

External beam radiotherapy treatment workflow scheduling and optimization. The system and method provides for determining a workflow metamodel, receiving a treatment plan, determining a treatment schedule corresponding to the workflow metamodel and treatment plan, taking into account saftety by determining alternative treatment schedules, computing a safety index, and selecting one alternative treatment schedule that satisfies a safety threshold and that provides an optimal schedule.

International Classification:

G06G 7/66

US Classification:

700 97, 901 3

Abstract:

In an automated system which includes a robot manipulator, a workcell, and a control system implemented on a hardware platform based on a programmable logic controller (“PLC”), a method and apparatus for performing integrated simulation that does not require the presence of both the robot manipulator and the workcell. If one component is real, the other component is simulated so as to be sufficiently responsive to responses from the real component such that the real component is unable to discern that the other component is not also real. A computing device simultaneously displays simulacra of both the components, real and simulated, and visualizations of the responses provided by each.

US Classification:

700247, 703 1, 700245, 700254

Abstract:

An improved method to model and program a robotic workcell. Two-dimensional (2D) images of a physical workcell are captured to facilitate, in part, initial integration of any preexisting three-dimensional (3D) component models into a 3D model workcell. 3D models of other essential workcell components are synthesized and integrated into the 3D workcell model. The robot is then configured and programmed. The resultant 3D workcell model more faithfully reflects the “as-built” workcell than a traditional model that represents the “as-designed” workcell.

International Classification:

B25J 9/16

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for controlling an industrial robot relative to an intuitive motion coordinate system. The current 3D position of a touch-screen teach pendant relative to the robot is sensed, and an operator-centric frame of reference is developed relative to the robot-centric frame of reference. A simulacra of the robot is generated, oriented so as to correspond with an operator view of the robot from the current position of the controller, and displayed on the pendant. A motion-control construction, generated and displayed on the pendant, is adapted to receive jog commands from the operator indicative of a respective incremental movement of the simulacra in the operator-centric frame of reference. Each jog command is transformed from the operator-centric frame of reference to the robot-centric frame of reference, and the robot moved in accordance with the transformed jog command. Movement of the pendant relative to the robot is sensed and, in response, the displayed simulacra is reoriented to correspond to the new position of the pendant relative to the robot as viewed by the operator.
