STL_Process: A .STL-based preprocessor for robot path planning in manufacturing and quality control processes

چکیده
One of the most commonly used file formats in manufacturing industry is .STL. We developed a semi-automated C++ -based preprocessor with command line interface and an OpenGL-based visual module to extract topological features from simplified 3D volumes presented .STL format. The evaluates input models five major steps: (i) edge identification, (ii) 2D regional grouping, (iii) region characterization, (iv) sub-volume extraction (v) virtual cross-section generation. It has been designed aid online robot programming by offering intuitive user-friendly system operators for planning additive subtractive mechanical operations, as well improve non-destructive quality control activities.

Path Planning for Robot-Assisted Grinding Processes
Path planning for a robot-assisted surface finishing system with an active torque controller is presented in this paper. We utilize a dexterous manipulator to attain the desired position and orientation in three-dimensional space during finishing processes. A single-axis active controller consists of a dc motor and a software observer is attached to the robot wrist and used to actuate a pneumat...
متن کاملBackward and forward path following control of a wheeled robot
A wheeled mobile robot is one of the most important types of mobile robots. A subcategory of these robots is wheeled robots towing trailer(s). Motion control problem, especially in backward motion is one of the challenging research topics in this field. In this article, a control algorithm for path-following problem of a tractor-trailer system is provided, which at the same time provides the ab...
متن کاملPath Planning and Control of an Industrial Robot Used for Opening Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the popular methods of steel production from steel scraps. The plasma arc is used in EAF to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal is drained from the EAF through the tap hole. Nowadays, it is critical to use Automated/robotic tools for opening the tap hole with oxygen lancing. Because many workers have been blinde...
متن کاملRobot Path Planning Using Cellular Automata and Genetic Algorithm
In path planning Problems, a complete description of robot geometry, environments and obstacle are presented; the main goal is routing, moving from source to destination, without dealing with obstacles. Also, the existing route should be optimal. The definition of optimality in routing is the same as minimizing the route, in other words, the best possible route to reach the destination. In most...
متن کاملPotential-based path planning for robot manipulators
In this paper, a potential-based path-planning algorithm for a high DOF robot manipulator is proposed. Unlike some c-space-based approaches, which often require expensive preprocessing for the construction of the c-space, the proposed approach uses the workspace information directly. The approach computes, similar to that done in electrostatics, repulsive force and torque between objects in the...
