| Abstract | In order for robotics to be used in automated production facilities, the manufacturing systems must be highly constrained. Despite the efforts of designers to generate accurate simulations, differences often occur in the real implementation. These differences are especially common in flexible manufacturing where people are required to operate in the same space as automated machines. Objects located in unexpected positions or orientations, additional objects in the area or missing objects can cause a robot to perform the designated operations incorrectly leading to wastage and loss of production. Typically, robotic systems have no information about the real environment around it and operate blind. In order to provide more information to the robot about its environment, information such as 3D scans can be provided to the system. This research compares a 3D scan of what is present in the environment to a 3D simulation of what is expected in the environment. The simulation scan comparison (SSC) process detects missing, unknown and incorrectly located objects. The results from the comparison process can be used to make decisions about how operations should be performed so that the outcome is satisfactory. For example, if an unknown object is in the path of a robot, the robot can be rerouted around the object. The surfaces of both simulation objects and 3D scan data are described using triangles, allowing triangle neighbour data to be used for more efficient identification of unknown objects, and triangle normal data to detect missing objects. In addition, occupancy grids have been employed for both the path planning and surface-matching processes further increasing the computational efficiency of the system. The SSC process was used to detect missing, unknown and incorrectly located objects in a typical robot cell to an accuracy of 98 %, thus demonstrating that the SSC process is capable of identifying unknown objects or unexpected situations and using these detections to update the original simulation or alter the manufacturing process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
