Integrate Collaborative Robot (Cobot) with i3070 ICT Test Platform
应用文章
Robotic arms are becoming extremely popular in today’s manufacturing industry. It helps improve the quality and efficiency of daily tasks on the production line while reducing the dependency on human operators.
This application note will describe in detail how to integrate the collaborative robot (Cobot) named “Sawyer” by Rethink Robotics with the Keysight i3070 ICT test platform.
Rethink Robotics has provided a communication channel for Cobot Sawyer to communicate to the other parties through TCP/IP. You would simply need to develop your own server or client program to do the communication job with Cobot Sawyer. For the convenience and easy deployment for i3070 users, Keysight has developed a light server (client) program named “ClientServerNetwork.exe” which can be directly executed from the command line or called from within another program. Another wrapper DLL named “SendReceiveWrapper.dll” has also been developed to ease the integration with i3070 through dllcall in the i3070 test plan.
