碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電控工程研究所 === 106 === Along with the progress in automation, robot tasks become much more complicated and versatile. Traditional task teaching is not only time-consuming, but also difficult to master. We thus propose an innovative way to simplify the industrial robot teaching process by means of immersive virtual reality, which allows the user to manipulate the robot in the 3D working environment directly. In this way, we improve safety and intuitiveness during robot manipulation. Via a system evaluation process, we then select suitable parameters that lead to salient performance from the immersive VR. Experiments based on a pick-and-place task and emulation of curved surface welding task are executed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed interface.
