Virtual sensors (software abstractions to support programming of sensor use) have been shown to have software-engineering benefits. A sensor integration system is required to support them. We examine the general requirements of such systems and consider the important design requirements. An idealised architecture, ViSIAr, is proposed to serve as a framework for designing and constructing them. Illustrative examples are provided.

“…Monitoring of the probe can be used to trigger collection of the tool position. Nicholls and Hardy 36 discuss a number of such measurement strategies co-ordinated by binary touch probes. This class is known as trigger sensors.…”

“…By co-ordinating several probes to form a single measurement operation, precise measurements of grippedposition can be made and difficult orientation ambiguities can be resolved. 4 Only relatively simple sensing devices are therefore required and there is no provision for vision sensing. Sensing on the compliant mount of the main end-effector permits measurement of insertion force and the direction of compliant displacement, if any.…”

SummaryWe describe a sensor integration system which we have designed and implemented for a large fully-integrated flexible assembly machine. The machine was developed by a consortium to explore the design and implementation issues involved. The sensor integration system was designed for execution on a multiple transputer architecture, and co-ordinates all the sensory information in the machine. It uses the concept of virtual sensing to provide sensory data at an appropriate level of abstraction to the machine supervisor, which controls execution of the assembly tasks.
