Desenvolvimento do Teach Pendant para o braço robótico ED-7220C

Abstract

The primary application of robots is to perform complex and repetitive tasks, thereby increasing reliability and productivity compared to human labour. A robot is a mechanical device composed of actuators that convert a power source into physical movements, with a controller responsible for activating the actuators to perform movements until the desired position is reached. To perform any task, mastery of robot programming is essential, defining all necessary movements in sequential order to meet all performance requirements needed to successfully complete the activity. The robot controller must feature a communication interface with an external device, provided by the manufacturer, containing software designed to enable the user to program the movements. The Teach Pendant is a type of control found in industrial robots, featuring a simple layout, designed to teach movements for the purpose of automatically performing a specific task, thereby reducing human intervention in the process.
