A computer-based system and method is disclosed for spatial programming of a robotic device. A mixed reality tool may select an object related to one or more interactive tasks for the robotic device. A spatial location of the object may be located including Cartesian coordinates and orientation coordinates of the object. An application program may be executed to operate the robotic device using the spatial location. Based on initial parameters, execution of the one or more tasks by the robotic device on the object related to a skill set may be simulated in a mixed reality environment.

Mixed reality assisted spatial programming of robotic systems

Method and apparatus to provide protocol translation and selectable data exchange in a client/server system are provided. A tag list is extracted from a legacy client deviceconnected to a legacy serverusing a protocol corresponding to the legacy server. A configuration manager deviceis used to configure the extracted tag list to obtain a selected tag list excerpt of the extracted tag list. The configuring device is arranged to map the selected tag list excerpt to a configuration adapted for a respectiveserver, and to define contextualization. Serverprovides industrial automation services using a next-generation protocol, e.g., OPC UA or MTConnect. A tag list is generated to configure server. A stream of data points of the selected tag list excerpt of the tag list extracted from the legacy client device is transferred to one or more client devicesconnected to server

Method and apparatus for protocol translation and exchange of selectable, contextualized data between a server using a next-generation protocol and a legacy server

A system and method is disclosed for development of a control application for a controller of an automation system. The controller receives sensor signals associated with perception of a first real component during an execution of the control application program. Activity of a virtual component, including interaction with the real first component, is simulated, the virtual component being a digital twin of a second real component designed for the work environment and absent in the work environment. Virtual data is produced in response to the simulated activity of the virtual component. A control application module determines parameters for development of the control application program using the sensor signals for the first real component and the virtual data. An AR display signal for the work environment is rendered and displayed based on a digital representation of the virtual data during an execution of the control application program.
