Diseño de sistemas de control industrial para manipuladores basados en Industria 4.0

Abstract

Abstract Technological growth, and the latest advances in science focused on industry has been growing until the appearance of the term “Industry 4.0”, which has become synonymous with innovation at the level of production and industrial control, in recent years the Industrial automation has had a gradual growth, hence the need to create and develop control systems capable of carrying out complex activities in an efficient manner, thus complying with industrial requirements. The incorporation of robotic systems into production processes has resulted in reduced production costs and improved product quality, however, as technologies advance, much more complex and high cost control systems are required, hence The need arises to create physical cyber systems of low cost and with efficient control systems, but of a low complexity when operating them. For these reasons, the research carried out presents a control system for the Scorbot ER 4U manipulator arm using low-cost embedded cards and using innovative devices and technologies such as augmented reality that gives users a real experience with virtual add-ons, thus facilitating the training and handling of robotic equipment. The mentioned system presents a physical assembly of a controller for the Scorbot ER 4U arm using a low-cost microcontroller and free software based on debian, and a virtual design for arm control, designed on a free motor such as Unity 3D and making use of an augmented reality device thus allowing the application to be much more interactive and very easy for the user. For the validation of the system, performance tests were carried out, resulting in movements with great precision and in a very simple way without having greater complexity in indicating positions to which the manipulator should reach.
