DISEÑO Y SIMULACIÓN DE UN PROCESO PICK AND PLACE DE OBJETOS UTILIZANDO EL ROBOT IRB-360 Y EL SOFTWARE ROBOTSTUDIO

Abstract

This research focuses on the design and simulation of a "pick and place" process of objects using the IRB-360 robot and the RobotStudio software. The main objective is to develop an efficient architecture for this process and simulate its different stages, from object selection to palletized sorting and distribution of food dressing. This research is carried out to optimize the operation of objects in industrial environments. To achieve these goals, we use RobotStudio software to design a process architecture and simulate different tasks in sequence to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of the system. The simulation includes visualization of the process through an HMI screen, which makes it easier to understand and monitor. In addition to the virtual simulations, the actual implementation of the process is carried out in the Control and Industrial Processes (C.P.I) and Robotics laboratories using the IRB-360 physical robot. This implementation is carried out through a human-machine interface that allows direct interaction between the operator and the robotic system. The project presented a coding that made it possible to transport materials from one point to another point through the RobotStudio, since at the Salesian Polytechnic University the prototype only has programming to lift objects, but not to move objects from one point to another. Therefore, the simulation of movement through a conveyor belt and gripping of the material through a mechanical claw will be carried out, removing the material from the conveyor belt and placing it on a table according to the established simulation.
