Man-machine intelligent working systems for grinding robots

Man-machine intelligent working system (MMIWS) is a kind of system that inter-fuses human intelligent and machine intelligent with the addition of working ability, and can deal with the indeterminate operation tasks in the non-structured environment. One example of this is the partial grinding robot that can be used in iron and steel plants. There are scars and blemishes on the steel ingots or billets after rolling which must be cleared away by grinding. These tasks of operation can not determined in advance because scars or blemishes on the surface of each billet to be grinding vary in distribution, shape, size, depth and quantity. In the man-machine intelligent working systems, the human intelligence can entered into the system at every levels such as the task plan level, path program level, motion control level and so on, so that both the human and machine intelligences can be combined nicely.
