Information Model for Describing Granular Robot Module Functionalities

The automation of flexible production systems using robots is becoming increasingly important in modern manufacturing. This paper addresses the challenge of effectively managing and utilizing functionalities provided by robot modules in automated production systems. To tackle this, we propose the development of an information model, structuring robot module functionalities. By discussing and adapting existing methods, such as the Capability Skill Service (CSS) model, we aim to create a standardized and efficient way to structure and describe the functionalities of robot modules. This approach seeks to reduce engineering costs, improve system integration, and enhance operational efficiency. Ultimately, the development of this information model could lead to more advanced, simplified and flexible solutions for robotic automation.
