Sysgo at the embedded world 2024
Cooperation for safe cobot solution
Sysgo, Nexcobot and Vectioneer are working together with Intel to develop a platform that serves as the basis for cobots. The platform will be presented at the upcoming embedded world.
The demonstration at embedded world is intended to illustrate the versatility of robots in safety-critical areas. The virtual IIoT robot solution includes laser scanners for real-time obstacle avoidance and intelligent wheel systems for adaptive mobility.
The demonstration is displayed via a virtual robot on the screen and controlled via an Ethercat-capable Linux system. Such a solution can be used in the automotive industry, for example, to attach modules such as doors to the chassis. The demonstrator works with the 'MotorCortex app' from Vectioneer, which enables the safe operation of robots. A virtual safety zone around the robot monitors whether a person enters the zone. If this is the case, the system immediately goes into sleep mode. The applications are safely separated in terms of time and space so that no disruptions can occur and the hardware is consolidated.
Technically, the solution is based on the 'SCB 100' platform from Nexcobot, which uses the 'Intel Atom x6427FE' processor, a multicore system on chip that has been developed for functional safety requirements thanks to Intel Silicon Integrity Technology and the associated safety package. According to the company, this platform is particularly suitable for embedded robotics solutions, as it fulfills requirements up to SIL 2 according to IEC 61508 and up to Cat. 3 PL d according to ISO 13849. The software is based on the hypervisor and real-time operating system 'PikeOS' from Sysgo, which is safety-certified according to IEC 61508 with SIL 4 and other industry standards. The safety architecture of PikeOS, which is certified at EAL 5+ level according to Common Criteria, forms the secure basis.
