1. Web Based Virtual Robot Prototyping and Manufacturing December 2001 by: Tarek Sobh, Raul Mihali, Anatoli Sachenko

2. Web Based Virtual Robot Prototyping and Manufacturing: The Goal n A fully autonomous web / customer based manufacturing and prototyping plant for online custom built and designed manipulators, with complete simulation, analysis and interactive correction of the design parameters and requirements

3. The Prototype Environment

4. Overall Design n maintain a global information database. n communicate with the subsystems to update any changes n receive and report messages from the subsystems n transfer data between the subsystems upon request n check constraints and apply some of the update rules n maintain design history n deliver reports to the customer with the current status

5. Database Content n robot configuration n design parameters n available platforms n design constraints n subsystems information n update rules n general information about the system

6. Design Parameters: Subsystem Notification

7. Database Design Considerations

8. Complete Design Schema web based interface customer data acquisition prototyping environment manipulator based manipulator manufacturing simulation based quality assurance and testing packaging and shipping
