Simulation of Articulated Robots for Virtual Prototyping in Dynamic 3d Environments

چکیده
This paper deals with the simulation of a dynamical system in which the motion of each rigid robot is subject to the influence of virtual forces induced by geometric constraints. These constraints may impose joint connectivity and angle limits for articulated robots, spatial relationships between multiple collaborative robots, or have a robot follow an estimated path to perform certain tasks in a cycle. In this paper the authors give a brief overview of a general simulation framework, describing the primary tasks which a simulator needs to implement. The robot behavioral simulation in the virtual environment enables us to predict the behavior of a given real manipulator into real environment.

Dynamic Simulation for Zero-Gravity Activities
Working and training for space activities is difficult in terrestrial environments. We approach this crucial aspect of space human factors through 3D computer graphics dynamics simulation of crewmembers, their tasks, and physics-based movement modeling. Such virtual crewmembers may be used to design tasks and analyze their physical workload to maximize success and safety without expensive physi...
متن کاملKey Elements for Motion Planning Algorithms
Planning a collision-free path for a rigid or articulated robot to move from an initial to a final configuration in a static environment is a central problem in robotics and has been extensively addressed over the last. The complexity of the problem is NP-hard (Latombe, 1991). There exist several family sets of variations of the basic problem, that consider flexible robots, and where robots can...
متن کاملCollision Detection for Virtual Prototyping Environments
Today's development of industrial products faces high requirements. Manufacturing companies need to produce high quality products, of low cost, to be marketed earlier than those of the competitors. Products must satisfy consumer requirements, must be developed fast, and must be of high quality. Many manufactures are adopting concurrent engineering in an attempt to reduce the lead time for new p...
متن کاملVirtual Entity-Based Rapid Prototype for Design and Simulation of Humanoid Robots
This paper proposes a framework for a virtual entity‐based rapid prototype (VERP) to facilitate the design and simulation of humanoid robots. The VERP framework consists of three components: virtual entities, a high‐fidelity simulation environment with physical and rendering engines, and an interface between the physical and simulation environments. To study the effectiveness of...
متن کاملProduction and Playback of Human Figure Motion 3D Virtual Environments
We describe a system for off-line production and real-time playback of motion for articulated human figures in 3D virtual environments. The key notions are (1) the logical storage of full body motion in posture graphs, which provides a simple motion access method for playback, and (2) mapping the motions of higher DOF figures using slaving to provide human models at several levels of detail, bo...
