Abstract Scope |
As automation and intelligent control increase in factories, process changes incur additional industrial robot programming costs. This is especially acute in high-mix low-volume manufacturing processes that require frequent redesigns. One way to reduce programming costs is to translate process plans directly into robotic programs. Large Language Models (LLMs) provide the natural language understanding necessary to convert language into robotic actions. These robotic actions are represented by programmed primitive scripts that have known performance, and a state machine representation of these actions allows users to evaluate the overall accuracy of the plan. For further interpretation and evaluation, all plans are visualized in a robotic simulation platform for final approval. These human-robot communication capabilities are demonstrated on a block stacking planning problem. This framework enables faster robotic programming in manufacturing, while maintaining human-in-the-loop control for planning and safety. |
