基于Unity3D的工业机器人仿真教学实验系统

Unity3D Based Industrial Robot Virtual Simulation Teaching Experiment System

借助Unity3D虚拟现实开发平台设计并开发了一套工业机器人的虚拟仿真教学实验系统。以某款六轴工业机器人KR16R1610为研究对象,运用SolidWorks与3DsMax软件完成了工业机器人的三维建模及动画制作,运用Photoshop软件对模型进行贴图制作和UI界面设计,使用博图V16软件完成机器人控制程序代码,利用C#语言实现PLC与Unity3D软件的通信与数据交换,最终在Unity3D平台中完成并发布工业机器人仿真实验教学系统。该系统提供工业机器人在智能制造产线中的工作原理以及工业机器人的结构组成等教学内容,实现了工业机器人教学的虚拟可视化。系统具备PC端人机交互功能,亦可通过博图软件编写的PLC程序控制仿真机器人动作,能够极大地提高学生动手编程能力和实验兴趣,提高实验效率,改变传统实验教学方式。

A virtual simulation teaching experiment system of industrial robot was designed and developed with the Unity3D virtual reality development platform.This paper took a six axis industrial robot KR16 R1610 as the research object,completed the 3D modeling and animation of the industrial robot with SolidWorks and 3DSMax software,mapped the model with Photoshop and designed the UI interface,completed the robot control program code with Botu V16 software,and realized the communication and data exchange between PLC and Unity3D software with C# language,Finally,the simulation experiment teaching system of industrial robot was completed and released in Unity3D platform.This system provides teaching contents includes the working principle of industrial robot in intelligent manufacturing line and the structure of industrial robot,and realizes the virtual visualization of industrial robot teaching.The system possesses human-computer interaction function,and can also import PLC programs from the Botu software to control the robot’s movement,which can greatly improve the students’programming ability and experimental interest,improve the experimental efficiency,and change the traditional experimental teaching method.
