Novel trend in case study of industrial robot programming and production system design using the virtual reality

Abstract

The current trend of the production systems designing using by industrial robotics aims to reduce deployment time and minimize the value of financial investments. A large number of CAD software of various standards with little shared associativity are currently used for the design of production systems. Pre-production phases are the most demanding time and cost item for designing and programming industrial robots in terms of currently used methods (online and offline programming) at the design stage of new production devices and systems. Especial the new possibilities of using virtual reality in designing manufacturing systems, and the use of nonstandard methods for programming of industrial robots in immersive virtual reality environments helps to shorten the pre-production phase of design, time-consuming programming trajectories of industrial robots, as well as tune of collision situations, debugging of robot trajectories and programs, testing and simulation of future production system.
