This paper proposes a software framework for system integration in developing a dual-arm robot. In our project, the target dual-arm robot has flexibility with several functions compared to conventional industrial robots and a software framework should be designed to integrate each component effectively. The proposed software framework is composed of several layers, i.e., a control layer, a robot language layer and GUI layer.

There are many needs for the safe and the compact actuator with light weight in the robotic research field because the robot makers want to make their robot manipulator much safer and lighter for human-robot co-existence environment. For this reason, a new modular actuator has been developed and its research results will be introduced in this paper.

Human-Robot hybrid manufacturing system means a new type of manufacturing system that the human and the robot working together besides each other to enhance the productivity of the factory. In this kind of new manufacturing system, the robot has to meet new kind of requirements. For this reason, the authors designed a new type of dual arm robot system and the research results will be introduced in this paper.

Human rights at poor working condition is the severe problem in modern manufacturing system. The industrial dual-arm robot is being developed to meet these social issues fundamentally. The industrial dual-arm robot can assemble the complex product in such way human do. We arm developing the dual-arm robot which has the function of assembly of IT products such as the mobile phone and LCD/LED panel. Currently, we are building up the simulator environments for that physical robot. In the simulator environments, the production line environments beside the dual-arm robot are built up to test the feasibility of the work process.
