Rapid generation of spraying instructions for painting robot basing on automatic programming technology

Basing on automatic programming technology, a rapid spraying instructions generation algorithm is proposed in this paper. Given a patterned three-dimensional model of a workpiece, the algorithm is capable to generate the robot controlling instructions efficiently. On the basis of the above instructions, the industrial robot can paint specified pattern on the workpiece effectively. Innovatively, a zone based path planning algorithm is proposed, which can be used to reduce the complexity of analysis to a great extent. In addition, a separating architecture is put forward, which can be used to improve the versatility of the proposed algorithm effectively. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the method in real environment.
