Intuitive offline programming for industrial robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new ABB robot simulation and offline programming tool has transformed a complex and time-consuming process into an intuitive and speedy exercise that can be performed during a sales visit to the customer. Designed for use by salespersons with limited engineering experience, the product has reduced robot simulation time from a typical eight hours to less than 30 minutes.

Off-line programming of industrial robots using co-located environments
This paper presents a methodology and a prototype system for off-line programming of an industrial robot using augmented reality technology. The system allows to control a virtual model of the industrial robot co-located in the real environment, planning for collision-free paths, generate robot program and simulate the robot actions before the real robot perform the task. The advantage of this ...
متن کاملRecent Progress on Programming Methods for Industrial Robots
Although an automated flexible production cell is an intriguing prospect for small to median enterprises (SMEs) in current global market conditions, the complexity of programming remains one of the major hurdles preventing automation using industrial robots for SMEs. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent research progresses on the programming methods for industrial robots, in...
متن کاملCombining manual haptic path planning of industrial robots with automatic path smoothing
Nowadays, industrial robots are preferably programmed offline, i.e. without interference with the real cell and running production processes. Usually a simulation tool is used to manually define individual locations and to check the created raw path for possible collisions. Within this paper an approach is presented, that combines a haptic input device by means of automated path smoothing. The ...
متن کاملThe Need for an Intuitive Teaching Method for Small and Medium Enterprises
Small and medium enterprises currently do not often use robots in their production; one reason is the complex handling, especially the time-consuming programming. Using the well known walk-through approach this drawback could be overcome. We discuss the defiances of this approach and present means of adapting trajectories by transforming them into sequences of geometric primitives. By means to ...
متن کاملMORPHA: Communication and Interaction with Intelligent, Anthropomorphic Robot Assistants
Robot systems, which are employed outside traditional manufacturing applications, socalled service robots or robot assistants, have by far not reached the economic potential of industrial robots yet. There are several factors, which explain this circumstance. Operating robots in unmodified natural environments inhabited by human beings imposes requirements on the robots, which are incomparably ...
