Introduction of a unified robot intergration package

Abstract In modern manufacturing environments, robotic systems are increasingly becoming essential components of various production processes. The growing diversity of these systems require innovative approaches to simplify system integration. This contribution addresses the challenges posed by the heterogeneity of robotic systems, which often lead to complex engineering processes. To address this problem, the authors introduce a novel architecture called the Unified Robot Integration Package (URIP). URIP aims to accelerate system integration through modularization and encompasses three key aspects: control and orchestration, functionality description, and human-machine interface. By providing a unified description of robotic systems, URIP reduces the complexity associated with system integration, resulting in more efficient and flexible adaptation to changing requirements.
