Research on Virtual Design and Simulation System for Manipulators of Multi-Degree of Freedom

Abstract

According to different environment and working requirement, the manipulators with diverse shapes and functions are required. In this paper, a virtual design and simulation system for manipulators of multi-degree of freedom (DOF) was put forward. Knowledge classification and modeling were carried out for the manipulator’s mechanism and motion behaviors. The software architecture framework and platform of the hardware and software were described. The overall program approach and its realization of the system were introduced. Based on the VC++ 6.0 development platform, the manipulator’s design and simulation system was developed and tested by examples. The results show that it provides a theoretical method and a tool for the virtual design and virtual manufacturing of multi-DOF manipulators in complex environment, which elevates the speed and lowers the cost of research and development.

Stereoscopic Positioning of Intelligent Fruit Harvesting Robot: a Review

“…When choosing stem as positioning base, references [34] proposed that stem was difficult to recognize, especially under occluded conduction . Positioning in this situation needed intelligent inference and decision-making algorithm for Evaluation [35]. Associated positioning error of mechanism and vision.…”

Control Study of the Harvesting Robot in Virtual Environment

“…Nevertheless, there are few commercialized harvesting robots, and one of the main problems might be the intelligence of the robots could not meet the demand of the complex environment [17]. Our research group has been focusing on the behavior control and the intelligent simulation system of agricultural harvesting robot based on virtual reality [5,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27], providing a new research tool to study agricultural harvesting robot.…”
