Explain robot programming compared to off-line programming

Explaining the intelligent development of robots is a big trend. Then we must talk about how robots are programmed when it is done. There are two general ways to teach robot programming: teach programming and off-line programming. For some time, there seems to be such a controversy. Some people think that the programming of teaching is backward. Some people think that off-line programming is too large to be able to land. Xiao Bian seems that this kind of argument is really not necessary. It is like saying that walking is better than driving. It is no better, only better. For example, from Chongqing to Shanghai, there is no doubt that you should choose to drive. From the Bird's Nest to the Water Cube, I believe that Xiao Meng must walk better than driving. Please follow the small series of ideas below to see if you are teaching programming and offline programming which is more suitable for you.

Explain the advantages of the robot:

1. It can generate complex machining tracks automatically based on the part shape in the virtual scene.

In the grinding and painting industry, there are no longer just a few points to teach, but several dozens or even hundreds, explaining that off-line programming of robots has advantages in this respect. RobotArt has done a better job in this area. It is powerful but not complicated. There are many ways to generate trajectories. For example: trajectory generation along an edge, curve feature, etc., can be applied to different scenes. .

2, can control most of the mainstream robots.

The teaching programming is only for specific robots, and off-line programming is not limited by the explanation robot in this respect (mainly third-party off-line programming, ontology vendor robots such as RobotStudio, only support their own robots). RobotArt and RobotMaster support more and more robot brands. However, RobotArt supports online robotics library. The robot library in the cloud is continuously updated. It not only supports such well-known robot brands as ABB and KUKA, but also supports domestic large-scale robot brands. Most robot brands, such as Hirose, Shinsegae, etc.

3. Trajectory simulation, path optimization, and post code generation can be performed.

This is a significant advantage that distinguishes the teaching of programming. After the trajectory is generated, it can be detected in the software to explain whether the path taken by the robot is correct, and then the generated trajectory can be optimized. These only need to operate in the virtual environment. Taking RobotArt as an example, after one-click generation of a trajectory in RobotArt, simulation can be performed and the generated trajectory can be optimized. Finally, a language that can be recognized by the robot can be generated by clicking on the rear button. These seemingly complex and difficult operations can be completed in RobotArt with just a few clicks.

4, can conduct collision detection.

Since errors during the execution of the system are unavoidable, we must first have a collision detection function to detect where problems occur during program execution. This function that sounds so great can also be seen in RobotArt. When RobotArt turns on the interference check function during program simulation, it will do preliminary detection of errors in the trajectory. When a post-program is generated, it will do the final detection and filtering on the post-report robot data. If any data that does not meet the normal operation of the program is found, it will refuse to generate the post-set code. The purpose of doing so is to minimize the errors from programming itself.

5, the production line does not stop programming

Another headache-provoking problem with teaching robot programming is that in the face of the current generation of multiple small batches, for a new part, the production line must always be stopped for programming, causing the robot to be idle and causing waste of resources. With off-line programming, when the current production line is still in operation, the programmers design the trajectory of the next batch of parts at the same time. This is the efficiency in Industry 4.0. Many users have already used RobotArt off-line programming software to synchronize programming during production.
