Sensor technology in the application of industrial robots

Now the use of robots continuously widely, robotics is a blend of sensors, artificial intelligence, such as electronic discipline knowledge, involves many fields of cutting-edge technology, the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment breadth and depth is increasing day by day.

In the field of intelligent manufacturing equipment in our country, with new type of sensor, intelligent control systems, industrial robots, automation of complete sets of production line of intelligent manufacturing equipment industry system preliminary formation, a batch of major intelligent manufacturing equipment breakthrough with intellectual property rights.

On last year's intelligent manufacturing equipment for data analysis, industrial automation control system and instruments and meters, 2012 CNC machine tools, industrial robots and system of intelligent manufacturing equipment industry sales revenue for very good results. But, although grades, but the industry as a robot in the related field is to nurture and growth of emerging industries, is still in development. From the perspective of the integration analysis of 2012, there is still a significant problem, intelligent manufacture equipment industry in China mainly displays in: technology innovation ability is weak, the new sensor and advanced control, the core technology of others; Industry foundation is weak, high-grade and special sensors, intelligent instruments and meters, automatic control system, high-grade CNC system, robot market share of less than 5%.

But the good news is that, with the popularization and application of sensor technology, the development of robot is in focus, but also because the progress of sensor technology, make the development of industrial robots have support.

Sensors in order to promote orderly and rapid development of China's industrial robot has successfully. Sensor is used to detect the working state of the robot, robot and intelligent detection external work environment and core components of the state of the object. Can feel the provisions is measured and converted into usable output signal according to certain rules of device or devices.

Give an example of use. To test the operation object and environment or robots and their relationships, installed in the robot displacement sensor, touch sensor and visual sensor, obliquity sensor module (or Angle), force sensor, nearly sensor, ultrasonic sensor and sound sensors, robot working conditions are greatly improved, so it can more fully complete complex tasks. In the same way, in order to achieve in a complex, dynamic and uncertainty environment of autonomy, now gradually developed countries are visual, auditory, pressure sensitivity and thermal sensation, force sensor, and a variety of different functions of sensor reasonably combined together, form the robot perception system, to provide more detailed information from the outside environment for robot, thus enabling the robot to the external environment change to make real-time, accurate and flexible response behavior.
