IMITATION-BASED ROBOT PROGRAMMING METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE MOTION

Abstract

One of the main barriers to automating a particular task with a robot is the amount of time needed to program the robot. In this paper the decrease in programming time is accomplished by combining off-line and on-line programming techniques .The method consists in using a programming platform that allows us to expediently compose robot programs. On the programming platform there is carried out the virtual prototype of the physical robotic arm to be programmed and the real working space wherein it is intended to work. In this paper, we propose a new approach to robot programming based on virtual robot prototype behavior in experimental scenery. The actions for the each robotic task are computed for virtual robot prototype and are transferred online, with a central coordination, to corresponding physical robot, which must imitate her virtual “homonymous”.
