PICK AND PLACE ROBOTIC CELL SIMULATION USING RoboDK SOFTWARE

In the era of advanced technology, the automation of industrial processes has become an essential element for improving efficiency and productivity. One of the most relevant aspects of this phenomenon is the development of robotic systems capable of performing repetitive tasks with a precision and speed superior to human ones. The objective of the work is the design and implementation of a robotic arm intended to perform the "pick and place" function, an essential process in numerous industrial fields, from product manufacturing to logistics and assembly. Pick and place involves picking an object from a specific location and placing it in another position. This task, while seemingly simple, is fundamental to the production flow of many industries. For example, in automobile manufacturing, components must be handled with care to ensure the quality and integrity of the final product. In logistics, robotic arms are used to organize goods in warehouses, reducing handling time and human error. The article presents the structure and operating specifications for the Doosan Robotics M1013 robot, as well as the RoboDK software, with its main features and application areas. After defining the specifications and selecting the hardware components, such as servo motors, sensors and control modules of the manufacturing cell, we move on to the design stage, where a 3D model of the robotic arm will be created. This model will allow the simulation of the robot's operation and the anticipation of possible problems, before the physical construction.
