摘要
Safe object-oriented programming languages like Java provide a much more programmer-friendly environment than the low-level languages in which real-time and embedded software have traditionally been implemented. Therefore, with the recent popularity of real-time Java, it is interesting to examine its feasibility for robot motion control. We have implemented a motion control system, and an application, for an ABB IRB 340 industrial robot entirely in real-time Java, using standard computer hardware, off-the-shel f EtherCAT servo drives, and the Sun Java Real-Time System 2.0 on Solaris 10. This shows the feasibility of real-time Java for practical robot applications. It also shows one advantage of the Ether-CAT field bus technology, that no special master hardware is required. To our knowledge, this is the first robot control system implemented entirely in Java and executed on a certified virtual machine.
