Automatic transformation tools of UML design models from virtual prototypes of multi-jointed robots

Most of robotic companies develop a control programming of multi-jointed robots, which spend too much time to manually adjust the moving functions of the robots. To solve this problem, we adapt the virtual prototyping (VP) to develop the control program of the robotic behaviors. For software enginee...

Description
Summary:Most of robotic companies develop a control programming of multi-jointed robots, which spend too much time to manually adjust the moving functions of the robots. To solve this problem, we adapt the virtual prototyping (VP) to develop the control program of the robotic behaviors. For software engineers, in order for them to easily program this robot, we also apply metamodel mechanism to convert UML models with virtual prototyping model. We propose the automatic model transformation from the virtual prototyping model to UML models, which will then develop coding based on UML models. To prove our mechanism’s efficiency, we implement Robot to UML Translator (RUT) as our transformation rules with ATLAS transformational language. Lastly, we show experimental validation about the consistency of our proposed technique with an example of multi-joined robot prototype models.
