摘要: A method of programming a robot for operation in a robot manufacturing facility, for example for automobile manufacture, comprises firstly, establishing sets of design data including data relating to dimensions and relative positions of parts of a robot, positions of a robot base and of product handling and transporting equipment in a manufacturing cell and design data relating to dimensions and positions of parts of the proposed product, and secondly establishing a robot program by processing that data. The robot program established comprises data and instructions for movement of defined parts of the robot for manufacturing or assembly tasks to be carried out by the robot in that manufacturing cell. The method further comprises, thirdly, operating a virtual model of the robot in a virtual model of the manufacturing cell to check operability and fourthly, after such adjustment as may be necessary to secure operability at the virtual level, operating the corresponding real robot in the corresponding real cell. The real robot and/or manufacturing cell incorporates beams for sensing the real positions of the operative part or parts of the real robot in relation to the real workpiece or product, supported by the real product handling or transporting equipment. At this stage, the method further comprises determining corrections required to bring the operative part or parts of the robot into the desired positions with respect to the real workpiece supported by the real product handling and transporting equipment in the cell, and applying these corrections to the design data originally processed to establish a revised program for controlling the real robot in the real cell.

摘要: A robot manufacturing facility, for example for use in automobile manufacture, includes at least one robot for acting on a workpiece or intermediate product of a pre-calculated shape and dimensions at a pre-calculated position and orientation relative to a reference frame. The robot includes a body or base structure, at least one end effector movable with respect to the body or base structure for acting on workpieces, means for moving the end effector and sensing means for sensing the position of the each effector. The sensing means preferably includes a laser light source carried by the robot and means for detecting laser light, from said source, reflected from the workpiece. The movement of the end effector is controlled according to a predetermined program, modified in accordance with signals from the sending means, so that the robot is able to compensate for departures from pre-calculated values of the position and orientation and/or shape and/or dimensions of the workpiece.

摘要: A method of is disclosed of checking the feasibility or other properties of a process involving movement and/or assembly of items or components. The method comprises setting up, within a computer, in terms of corresponding sets of data, a virtual three-dimensional space and, in such space, virtual versions of the items or components concerned, represented by corresponding sets of data, and operating a program in the computer so as to manipulate the virtual items or components in that virtual space. The method makes it possible to determine, by operation of the computer, potential difficulties in manipulating corresponding real items or components in real space. The method can be used to set up, within a computer, a virtual factory in virtual manufacturing premises with dimensions corresponding to the real premises available, with virtual machinery with data as to dimensions, to positioning, movement and timing of such machinery, and virtual personnel with corresponding data as to dimensions, limits of safe movement, speed of movement and the like. It is thus readily possible to adjust the data which is variable, and thus represents degrees of freedom, to arrive at an efficient workable arrangement.
