Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial robot teaching, and in particular to a training method and system that combines virtual and real technologies for industrial robot training. Background Technology

[0002] The practical training for industrial robots mainly adopts two methods: physical robot operation and pure virtual simulation teaching.

[0003] While hands-on robot operation training can provide students with a realistic operational experience, it suffers from high equipment costs, maintenance difficulties, limited training scenarios, and certain safety risks, resulting in training resources that cannot meet the needs of a large number of students. While hands-on virtual simulation training can reduce costs and risks, students lack practical experience and find it difficult to effectively apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the virtual environment to actual robot operation, thus significantly reducing the effectiveness of the training. Summary of the Invention

The student's training objectives are modified based on the parameters of the training objectives achieved by the student.

[0006] Preferably, the physical robot operating platform is an ABB IRB120.

[0007] Preferably, the parameters include task completion time, program running efficiency, success rate, and error rate.

[0010] Preferably, the training method further includes a cloud platform to synchronize the training objectives completed by students, the operations performed to complete the training objectives, and the data.

[0011] Secondly, this invention provides a training system combining virtual and real technologies for industrial robots, based on the aforementioned training method combining virtual and real technologies for industrial robots. The virtual simulation module involves building a virtual simulation platform by referring to the practical training operation platform. The control module controls the virtual teach pendant via an existing mouse and keyboard. The virtual teach pendant then controls the robot's movement to achieve the training objectives. The data acquisition module acquires data on the task completion time, program execution efficiency, success rate, and error rate of the training target. The analysis module analyzes various parameters, generates visual reports, and adjusts students' training objectives based on these reports. The safety module acquires the number of times the emergency stop button is triggered, the number of times the safety light curtain is triggered, and the number of times the vehicle speeds in manual mode, and generates a safety report. The cloud module synchronizes the training objectives completed by students, as well as the operations and data performed to achieve those objectives.

[0012] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising: Memory and processor; The memory is used to store computer-executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute the computer-executable instructions. When the computer-executable instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the training method combining virtual and real technologies for industrial robots are implemented.

[0013] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the training method combining virtual and real technologies for industrial robots.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention include: by integrating the advantages of virtual simulation and physical robot operation through a training system combining virtual simulation and control modules, it effectively solves the problems of high equipment costs, high operational risks, and limited training content in traditional training. This system not only allows students to perform programming debugging and high-risk innovative experiments in a virtual environment, but also enables them to verify and optimize solutions on physical robots through real-time data interaction. This method significantly improves students' training effectiveness and practical abilities, cultivates their innovative thinking and problem-solving skills for complex engineering issues, and provides effective teaching practice support for supplying high-quality professional talent to the industrial robot industry.
