Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Data Processing in the Control of a Robotic arm with six Degrees of Freedom A.V. GORODILOV, A.I. KONONOVA The problem of training human controllers for industrial robots is relevant because of the widespread adoption of robots in the industry. Unfortunately, the control of a 6DOF robotic arm, a common type of industrial robot, is very counterintuitive, and training is taking a long time and is not always successful. The article discusses the control of a robotic arm with six degrees of freedom (6-DOF)–using the Hiwonder XArm X1 model as an example. A user interface based on standard input devices, including a mouse, keyboard, and display, is proposed. This interface enables precise positioning of the robotic arm in Cartesian space. The following are described: a method for setting the Cartesian coordinates of the manipulator by the user; an empirically developed approach for positioning the manipulator near the specified coordinates in a way that facilitates subsequent adjustment of the claw; and a solution to the problem of determining the six coordinates of the manipulator for this position. It is noted that the Hiwonder XArm X1 uses different positive directions for various servo angles, which is an important consideration for control. Graphical visualization of the manipulator’s state, along with an interface providing feedback to the user, is presented. The proposed user interface was implemented and tested for controlling the Hiwonder XArm X1 in an industrial setting. Tests demonstrated the interface's effectiveness and highlighted its potential for broader applications. Notably, the interface reduced the learning curve for new operators–without prior training–by a factor of 5 to 10.
