Virtual reality-based industrial robot simulation and real-time control system

Abstract

The invention provides a virtual reality-based industrial robot simulation and real-time control system. The invention aims to develop a virtual simulation system for a typical six-degree-of-freedom series industrial robot, wherein the virtual simulation system can communicate with a real industrial robot through a bus. With the simulation system adopted, a user can control the movement of a virtual robot and operate the virtual robot in a virtual simulation system in a computer and can transmit motion instructions and motion state messages to a robot controller through a designed PLC data communication system; the virtual simulation system of the computer side writs a robot program and transmits instructions to a robot control cabinet through an Ethernet; the robot of the virtual system of the computer side and the real robot move simultaneously according to the instructions; the virtual system can monitor the motion of the robot in real time; and the interconnection of the virtual reality simulation system and the industrial robot arm can be realized through bus communication, so that the advantages of the simulation system and the industrial robot arm can be integrated; and thesimulation system can be more conveniently applied to actual production and can truly achieve the combination of virtuality and reality, and is of great significance for the visual control and real-time monitoring of industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot control system, in particular to a virtual reality-based industrial robot simulation and real-time control system. Background technique [0002] With the successive introduction of concepts such as "Industry 4.0" and "Made in China 2025" and the increase in labor costs, strategies such as automated production lines and "machine replacement" have become the first choice for factory development; more and more industrial robots have replaced the original workers appear in all aspects of factory production; according to data released by the International Federation of Robotics, China has become the largest market for industrial robots in the world for three consecutive years. As of 2015, China's robot market share accounted for 27% of the global market, and it is expected In 2019, the annual shipment of multi-purpose industrial robots in China will reach 160,000 units. Due to the explosive growth of industrial robot applica...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] OPC technology is widely used in industrial automation data transmission. The OPC protocol provides a unified standard for the object-oriented development of industrial automation software. The OPC architecture is compatible with the following hardware platforms: PC hardware, cloud-based servers, PLCs and microcontrollers; These operating systems are compatible: Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, Android and all Linux distributions; therefore, regardless of any PC-based software developed in the process, OPC can provide a common interface for data between various process equipment communication; however, since more and more robots use different communication protocols between software and equipment, direct communication between them has been unsatisfactory; therefore, it is necessary to provide a robot control system, specifically involving a Industrial robot simulation and real-time control system based on virtual reality solves the above problems
