Abstract

Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive and poor accuracy in programming of complex operations of industrial assembly robots, an online programming method for robots based on digital twin is proposed. From the four dimensions of geometry, contact dynamics, behavior and rules, the faithful mapping of the robot from real to virtual space is realized. The verification of multi-part assembly trajectory planning program, real-time synchronous operation and state monitoring are realized. An assembly robot modeling and online programming system based on digital twin is designed and built. A six-axis industrial robot cell is taken as an example to verify the practicality and accuracy of the system, which provides a new solution for complex assembly robot programming.

Key words: digital twin, digital twin robot, assembly, track planning, virtual reality
