Method and system for controlling robot through graphical programming

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for controlling a robot through graphical programming. The method comprises the steps of taking a graphical programming interface as a client, and writinga motion program of the industrial robot in the graphical programming interface; editing program source codes through a source code editing tool, and establishing a C++ program library which communicates with the industrial robot serving as a server; generating script codes, executing and outputting the script codes, calling the C++ program library to communicate with the industrial robot, and sending standard instructions to the industrial robot; executing an instruction analysis program by the industrial robot, and converting the standard instructions into specified instruction names; and executing a motion instruction by the server. According to the method, the open graphical programming is adopted; a user drags a module from a module library area to a task area; and the programming canbe realized by performing line connecting or parameter setting operation, so that the programming flexibility and the code readability are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of graphic programming, in particular to a method and system for controlling a robot by graphic programming. Background technique [0002] Robot control technology is a key technology in the fields of robot applications and industrial automation. Its purpose is to enable robots to act automatically and accurately according to human intentions by writing robot motion control programs, and to have the ability to complete certain human tasks, thereby replacing humans. , to liberate human beings from repetitive, physical, and mechanical work, and to devote themselves to more creative work. A good robot control method is the basis of robot application and an important prerequisite for realizing Industry 4.0, which has great practical significance. [0003] The existing robot control method is that each robot manufacturer works independently, each has its own programming language, and is incompatible with each ot...

Problems solved by technology

The main difficulties of programming in these languages ​​are (1) the programming process is cumbersome and the code readability is poor; (2) there are many robot application scenarios and different process requirements, and the flexibility of the language is difficult to meet the requirements

[0004] These difficulties have led to high thresholds for robot applications, low development and deployment efficiency, development engineers focus on basic motion control, and cannot design and optimize the process from a higher level

[0005] The hardware structure and robot programming language used in the closed control system are all customized. Although the technology is mature and the structure is simple, due to its defects such as inability to expand and reconstruct, it needs to pay a very high price to cope with changes in production requirements. Therefore, gradually being abandoned
