Abstract :
Using Visual C++ and OpenGL, a simulation system for a specific type of robot is provided in this paper. It is a modular simulation system, which contains offline programming, robot assembly and teaching and playback modules. Part model of robot that constructed by other software is imported and assembled in the simulation system for simulation analysis. It can realize kinematics calculation, 3-dimensional animation simulation of robot and virtual teaching. It has friendly user interface and is easy to extend other useful functions.
