Increased Competition in the Field of Robotics
1. Introduction
In recent years the field of robotics is mainly focused on industrial environments due to resource and productivity and changing human mind issues. Today’s businesses are facing increased competition and are under pressure to cut costs. They face escalating labour, energy or material costs and are concerned about their business’s environmental impact. Robotics is a powerful tool to address these pressures and sharpen their competitive edge. Robotics has come a long way in the last 20 years, from its beginning in highly structured environments, where native intelligence on the part of the robot was not required. Today, once prohibitive costs in developing on-board intelligence are plummeting, and robots are now gearing up to play a major role in less structured and more flexible manufacturing environments. This journal keeps industry practitioners and academics up to date with new international developments in the field, making it essential reading for anyone wanting to introduce robots or widen their use within their organization.
2. Key Benefits
Managers and engineers responsible for the design, development and application of robots will gain valuable, practical insights into current developments, which can be applied immediately to their own robotics systems.
3. Operation Process
3.1 Simulation of Robot Operations
Robot has kinematics to welding guns, grippers and fixtures. Configiure robot paths and check that the paths are collision free and estimates cycle times. Depending on what robot process to be simulated, implement information specific for that process. If desired, calibrate the virtual process to reflect physical conditions and download optimized robot programs.
By simulating your process you can always be sure to have the right combination of robot, gun and fixtures. After all, in virtual reality, bumping in to car parts and fixtures does not really matter.
