Study of industrial interactive design system based on virtual reality teaching technology in industrial robot

Abstract

Across numerous disciplines, virtual reality (VR) had been used to aid decision-making in training, design, and evaluation processes. Both the educational and industrial groups have contributed to a vast knowledge based on a variety of VR topics during the last two decades. VR has been expanded to industry in recent years, but the majority of its applications do not involve industrial robots. To study the application of VR technology in industrial design, it is better to combine the design activities with computer-integrated manufacturing system and bring new opportunities for the innovation of industrial design. Therefore, in this article, an application of industrial interactive design system based on VR technology in the education domain is explored. First, the function and scheme design of industrial robot assembly and adjustment system are designed, and the model is established. Finally, SolidWorks and 3DsMAX are selected as three-dimensional model development tools. Unity 3D is used as the VR development engine; HTC VIVE is used as VR equipment. The study shows that the design of the machine motion instruction interpreter is effective, and the specific steps of the system to realize real-time control are also given. The feasibility of the system is verified through the analysis of typical applications of industrial robots.
