Automatic Path Planning of Robot for Intelligent Manufacturing Based on Network Remoted Controlling and Simulation

Abstract

This study investigated the automatic path generation of a six-axis robot for intelligent manufacturing based on network remoted controlling and simulation. The intelligent manufacturing also provides the real-time remote monitoring system that is through the TCP/IP protocol to connect and get the information from the machine controller. Then through virtual reality simulates the processing paths of robot manufacturing that calculated the path points of robot motion. The automatic path planning of the robot arm codes is transmitted to the arm controller to complete the path planning program and to start cutting the workpiece. In addition, the carving spindle is set up on the six-axis the robot arm and imported into the off-line programming software. Further, our study integrates a smart machine box with intelligent functions and internet of things to improve control precision and to analyze quantification data by collecting big data. Cloud platform is built using message queuing telemetry transport protocol, Postgre SQL, RESTful API and modelview-controller dashboard. This study hopes that the off-line compiler software will replace the manual teaching method and reduce the error that caused by the manual visual measurement accuracy and saved the time of robot shutdown.
