Measuring And Optimization Methods Of Robotic Systems In A Simulation Environment

Abstract

At this time it is necessary to use design tools and virtual model validation to plan the adaptation of algorithms to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of production systems. Using software tools it is possible to obtain and after that analyze data from the simulation environment. Using models and 3D space, it is also possible to analyze ranges of manipulators and collision areas. It is also possible to test robotic programs and find out the energy consumption, and possible cooperation of more robotic manipulators. This article discusses the use of ABB RobotStudio simulation tool for testing optimization algorithms and thus optimizing energy consumption. The article describes the measurement chain and contains measurement in simulation followed by the analysis of measured data.
