Abstract

At the Institute for Process Control and Robotics reactive grasping skills are developed to enhance the Multifingered SCHUNK Dextrous Hand 2 (SDH2) in order to fulfill industrial needs. Therefore, RTAI Linux and Matlab - Simulink RTW are used as application development system (RTAI, 2010),(Mathworks, 2010). The exchange of data between the Multi-fingered hand and the computer system is possible by means of a C++ library. By reason that this SDH2 C++ library could not be used in Real-Time kernel programs this paper presents an approach of how to combine Real-Time Simulink models (RTAI) with user-space tasks. Therefore a shared memory based interface within Simulink S-Functions is established. The RTAI Target Language Compiler remains unaffected. The designed interface is described in detail. It represents a contribution to the further development of RTAI. In addition a possibility of how to debug and visualize tactile sensor matrices with QRtaiLab is presented.
