Configuration engineering of industrial articulated robot based on object-oriented pattern

To solve contradictions between highly customized requirements and long development cycle, a configuration design method for industrial articulated robots is put forward in this paper. The key technologies in the configuration design process are studied, including the representation of the building blocks composing an industrial robot based on object-oriented thinking, the designing of configuration template by mechanical structure diagram, the moment of inertia calculation by Simscape, the retrieval method of building blocks and configuration template and the verification method of the configuration result. Finally, a transfer robot is designed to verify the proposed method.
