Automation of Robot Operation Planning Based on Product Modelling, a Case Study for Suspended Ceiling Installation Robots

This paper describes how product model information together with building knowledge is used to generate robot operation plans. This approach is explained using a case of the design and installation of a suspended ceiling system. In this case study an information reference model for suspended ceiling product models is discussed. Also suspended ceiling installation knowledge is formalized using predicate logic. Currently the developments in this paper are being implemented and tested using robot simulation.
