Abstract:The continuous improvement of manufacturing automation level has led to an increase in the frequency of industrial robot applications. There are many sorting and assembly targets for industrial robots, and the operating environment is complex, which greatly increases the difficulty of industrial robot control. Therefore, a collaborative control system for industrial robot sorting and assembly based on improved greedy algorithm is designed. The system hardware unit mainly consists of an industrial camera design unit, an industrial computer design unit, a Hall sensor design unit, and a collaborative controller design unit. The software module is divided into four parts: data communication development module, target workpiece recognition and positioning module, industrial robot sorting optimal path selection module, and industrial robot assembly operation trajectory planning module. In the optimal path selection module and assembly operation trajectory planning module of industrial robots, an improved greedy algorithm was applied to achieve collaborative control of industrial robot sorting and assembly through the collaboration of hardware and software. The experimental results show that the industrial robot sorting rate obtained by the application design system is 50 pieces/min, with a minimum sorting error rate of 0.1%. The assembly operation trajectory control results are consistent with the optimal assembly operation trajectory, confirming that the sorting assembly control performance of the design system is better.
