Abstract

This paper presents WorkCellSimulator, a software platform that allows to manage an environment for the simulation of robot tasks. It uses the most advanced artificial intelligence algorithms in order to define the production process, by controlling one or more robot manipulators and machineries present in the work cell. The main goal of this software is to assist the user in defining customized production processes which involve specific automated cells. It has been developed by IT+Robotics, a spin-off company of the University of Padua, founded in 2005 from the collaboration between young researchers in the field of Robotics and a group of professors from the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padua.
