Off-Line Programming of Industrial Robots Using Co-Located Environments

摘要

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 system is use of inexpensive equipment for intuitive off-line programming of an industrial robot.
