KISMET
(Kinematic Simulation, Monitoring
and Off-Line Programming Environment
for Telerobotics) is a program
for efficient planning, simulation,
programming and monitoring
of remote handling equipment
and industrial robots, for
instance in installations
with difficult access. The
operator controls his work
by means of camera observation,
as well as the animated 3D-computer
graphics of KISMET.
Hans Wälischmiller GmbH
has taken over worldwide sales
of the graphic real time system,
which had been developed by
the Research Center Karlsruhe,
and integrated KISMET into
the company's proprietary
control system TBC1.
In 1995 the
robot system was deployed
for the first time in connection
with a completely new decontamination
procedure of Siemens/KWU.
It was used by the Canadian
manufacturer of nuclear power
plants AECL (Atomic Energy
of Canada, Ltd.) for the decontamination
of heat exchangers in power
plants. Details of this application
could be successfully be simulated
with KISMET.
In the years to come KISMET
was sold at home and abroad
for various applications.
