Abstract
To evaluate the feasibility of controlling KUKA robots via KUKAVARPROXY, the

performance of two libraries for communicating with KUKAVARPROXY is inves-

tigated. It is shown that the BoostCrossCom C++ library and the jOpenShowVar

Java library have comparable performance on a KUKA KRC 2. Both libraries

have a mean access time of 3ms for single connections, increasing too 12ms for 5

simultaneous connections.

To interface with a gantry mounted KR 16 the existing ROS Industrial driver

is expanded to control mathematically linked external axes. The raw control that

RSI allows can be a safety hazard for novice users, therefore a ROS driver using

BoostCrossCom is implemented.

ROS interfaces for reading data from a Schunk FTC-50-80 force-torque sensor

is developed using both RSI and BoostCrossCom. In order to control a Schunk

SWS-020 tool change system from ROS, a service node using BoostCrossCom is

created.
