AR Robot Layout Verification for Pre-Installation Capacity Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods are inefficient for checking the layout of a work site and the processing capacity of a robot before installation, as they require actual installation and offline simulation, which are time-consuming and inaccurate.
Innovation Solution
A display device with an augmented reality display part, position detection part, and control part that allows a virtual robot to operate in real space, enabling the layout and processing capacity to be checked before actual installation by superimposing a virtual robot on real objects and detecting work target positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If offline software simulation is used to check robot processing capacity, then the robot installation can be planned in advance, but the simulation cannot accurately reproduce the actual workpiece flow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the robot and workpiece in a virtual space that mirrors the actual physical space. This virtual model allows accurate reproduction of workpiece flow by simulating the robot's movement and operations in the same coordinate system as the real workspace, enabling precise evaluation of processing capacity without physical installation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical mechanical simulation with computational virtual simulation. By using a display device to render the virtual robot and workpiece interactions in real-time, the system substitutes complex physical prototypes and actual workpiece flow with digital representations, achieving both accuracy and efficiency
2Measurement precision
If actual robot installation is performed to check work site layout, then the layout can be verified accurately, but the process takes a long time from installation to work start
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary verification of the work site layout by displaying the virtual robot in the virtual space at its planned installation position before actual installation. The system allows users to check the robot's work range, reachability, and spatial relationships with surrounding objects in advance, enabling layout validation without physical installation delays
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual replica of the robot and work environment that accurately represents the physical space. This copy allows complete layout verification including robot positioning, workpiece accessibility, and spatial constraints to be checked in the virtual model before committing to actual installation, eliminating the time lag between installation and verification
