Sterowanie kobotem za pomocą wirtualnej rzeczywistości dla potrzeb Przemysłu 4.0
Streszczenie
Przemysł 4.0 przechodzi ciągłą ewolucję. Systemy zarządzania i monitoringu zaimplementowane w infrastrukturze przemysłowej gromadzą i przetwarzają coraz więcej danych, następnie bazując na dedykowanych algorytmach podejmują decyzje, a w konsekwencji wysyłają komendy sterujące do urządzeń i procesów technologicznych. Równocześnie wzrasta zainteresowanie łączeniem urządzeń z innymi na pozór odmiennymi technologiami. Przykładem tworzenia takiej koegzystencji jest integracja rozwiązań przemysłowych z wirtualną rzeczywistością. Działania takie przyczyniają się do tworzenia cyfrowych bliźniaków urządzeń i procesów, co z kolei umożliwia zdalne, a w wielu przypadkach również automatyczne sterowanie fizycznymi obiektami oraz przebiegiem rzeczywistych procesów. W trakcie prowadzonych badań wykorzystano takie podejście do opracowania rozwiązania umożliwiającego sterowanie robotem z dowolnego miejsca i w dowolnym czasie. Niniejsza praca prezentuje prototyp rozwiązania zapewniającego zdalne sterowanie robotem współpracującym typu kobot.

Cobot Control Using Virtual Reality for the Needs of Industry 4.0
Abstract
Industry 4.0 is undergoing continuous evolution. Management and monitoring systems implemented in the industrial infrastructure are able to collect and process more and more data, then, based on dedicated algorithms, make decisions, and consequently send specific control commands to devices and technological processes. At the same time, there is growing interest in combining devices with other seemingly disparate technologies. An example of creating such coexistence is the integration of sensory solutions with virtual reality. Such activities contribute to the creation of digital twins of devices and processes, which in turn enables remote and in many cases automatic control of physical objects and the course of real processes. In the course of this research, such an approach has been used to develop a solution that allows a robot to be controlled from anywhere and at any time. This work presents a prototype of a solution providing remote control of a cobot arm robot.
