Robotic Systems Design is where engineering creativity meets industrial practicality. It involves conceptualizing and detailing the physical and logical architecture of an automated system. Designers must consider constraints like floor space, budget, safety, and cycle time to create efficient and reliable solutions.
Workspace Layout: Using CAD software to simulate the cell layout, ensuring the robot can reach all necessary points without singularities or collisions.
End-Effector Design: Creating custom grippers or tools that can handle the specific part geometry without damage.
Cycle Time Analysis: Calculating robot speeds and acceleration to ensure the system meets production targets.
Safety Factors: Designing perimeter guarding, light curtains, and emergency stops to comply with safety standards.
Designers rely heavily on 3D CAD software like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or CATIA, as well as robot simulation tools like Process Simulate or RoboGuide.
