A series of instructions used by computers to control the movement of a robot arm, usually referred to as a robot control program or a robot arm control program in the field of robotics and automation control.
These instructions are a collection of detailed commands for controlling the robot arm to perform various actions and tasks, including but not limited to basic actions such as movement, rotation, gripping, and release, as well as more complex advanced functions such as path planning, force control, and speed adjustment.
Specifically, these instructions can be subdivided into the following categories:
1. Basic action instructions: including movement instructions (such as linear movement, arc movement), rotation instructions (such as rotating arm, rotating wrist), gripping instructions, and release instructions, etc.
These instructions directly control the robot arm to perform basic physical actions.
2. Data instructions: used to represent various data during the movement of the robot arm, such as position data (indicating the current position and coordinates of the robot arm), speed data (indicating the speed of the robot arm when it moves), and acceleration data (controlling the acceleration of the robot arm when it accelerates/decelerates), which are essential for accurately controlling the movement of the robot arm.
3. Logical instructions: used to implement logical judgment and control processes, including conditional judgment (such as "if the robot is at the specified position, execute the next operation"), loop control (such as "loop the specified number of gripping and releasing instructions"), jump instructions and function call instructions, etc.
These instructions enable the robot to perform tasks in a predetermined logical order.
4. Communication instructions: used for the robot to communicate with external devices and obtain data information from other devices or systems, such as serial communication instructions and network communication instructions, etc.
These instructions enable the robot to work with other devices to achieve more complex automation tasks.
When writing these instructions, specialized programming languages or control system software are usually used, such as C/C++, Python and other programming languages, as well as control system software such as Robot Operating System (ROS). These tools and platforms provide a wealth of function libraries and interfaces, allowing developers to easily write, debug and optimize robot control programs.
In summary, the series of instructions used by computers to control the movement of robot arms is a complex system, which covers multiple aspects such as basic actions, data representation, logical judgment and communication, and together constitutes the basis for the robot to perform various tasks.
