Abstract
In order to improve the degree of automation and efficiency of material sorting, virtual simulation technology is explored for verification in the design stage. This paper takes a robot for visual recognition and grasping a simple material model as an example to build a three-dimensional workstation model and integrate the robot's motion planning strategy. In the development environment of ABB's offline programming and simulation software Robotstudio, 3D modeling of related equipment was first carried out, and the spatial layout of workstation was completed according to the task requirements. Secondly, it is necessary to complete the selection of conveyor belts, the design of dynamic Smart components, the logical connection of workstations, and the loading and unloading path planning of mechanical arms. Finally, simulation verification is carried out. The simulation workstation realizes real-time collaborative optimization between the vision system and the robot controller, improving the flexibility and accuracy of the sorting process. The workstation helps to improve the sorting efficiency, and provides a certain reference for the follow-up research of industrial robot visual material sorting design.
