Automated Driving

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Autonomous vehicle lab consists of a virtual test drive vehicle setup which helps students to learn creation of detailed road and rail networks with multiple lanes as per requirement, design various types of intersections as well as signaling system by exporting the required data from single source and create 3d models. Students from different disciplines of engineering can learn the configuration, simulation, and customization virtual worlds. Students will gain exposure to various MSC’s tools to face challenges in development and validation of driver assist system to fully autonomous vehicles.

DETAILS

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

This toolkit is an automated, lab based tool useful to create, configure, present and evaluate the virtual environment providing scope for repeatable and realistic like in-lab testing of different road conditions and traffic simulations.Advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS),which is an electronic system that the driver to drive and park vehicle, can be developed with by using VTD toolkit. VTD can also be used for developing automated driving systems.
VTD provides scope to generate 3D content, simulate complex traffic scenario, and simulate simplified or physically driven sensors.

VTD SOFTWARE

The data collected from the field is used to design road network and traffic simulations. Road networks are designed using Road Network Editor (ROD) which includes number of lanes, different types of intersections, traffic signs and signals.

ADVANCED DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)

ADAS is an electronic system beneficial from road safety point of view. It helps drivers to drive and park vehicles safely. It uses different electronic technologies like Micro controller units (MCU), Power semiconductor devices and electronic control units to avoid human errors and develop advanced driver assistance system. This technology helps in avoiding vehicle collisions and control road accidents.

MotoSim EG-VRC
TATA TAL BRABO Robot

MOTOMAN AR1440

The six-axis MOTOMAN AR1440 robot provides fast and accurate performance to achieve optimal results in extremely difficult conditions and especially for the high demands of arc welding applications. With a payload of up to 12 kg, it’s wire feed system, the maximum working range of 1440 mm and integrated media hose package, this robot enables simple machining of bulky and hard-to-access workpieces with high quality results. Furthermore, the slim design allows high-density robot placement in confined spaces. The fast motion sequences of the MOTOMAN AR1440 robot reduce welding cycle times and the hollow wrist of 50 mm allow integrated torch cabling in the robot arm in order to avoid collisions with the workpiece or other robots. The integration of the power cable and the air connections in the base enable an enlarged turning range of more than 340°.

Build and Simulate a Robotic Work cell

Offline programming, 3D simulation and Virtual Robot Control all make it easy to build and simulate a robotic cell without ever installing a robot. Yaskawa provides MotoSim EG and MotoSim EG-VRC for building and simulating your robot cell. In addition, if you need to ensure you select the proper robot based upon load ratings and payload, let MotoSim determine the proper robot model.

MOTOSIM EG-VRC

MotoSim EG-VRC (Enhanced Graphics Virtual Robot Controller) is designed for accurate offline programming of complex systems. With the virtual robot controller function, simulation software can be used for

  • Optimizing robot and equipment placement
  • Reach modeling
  • Accurate cycle calculations
  • Automatic path generation
  • Collision detection
  • System configuration
  • Condition file editing
  • Functional Safety Unit (FSU) configuration
  • Remote access to real robot controller
The virtualized controller also allows the simulation software to operate and display a programming pendant interface identical to the real controller. The VRC completely simulates the Motoman robot controller software.

MOTOSIM EG

MotoSim EG (Motoman Simulator Enhanced Graphics) is a comprehensive software package that provides accurate 3D simulation of robot cells. This powerful simulation software can be used to optimize robot and equipment placement, as well as to perform collision detection, reach modeling and cycle calculations. It also provides accurate offline programming of complex systems. MotoSim EG reduces programming time, thus increasing uptime of the production equipment. New parts can be programmed offline before production begins, and existing robot programs can be modified to increase efficiency and reduce cycle time – without sacrificing production schedules.

TATA TAL BRABO

India’s first articulated industrial robot “BRABO” has been unveiled by Tata Motors’ wholly owned subsidiary, TAL Manufacturing Solutions. Bravo Robot or BRABO is country’s first conceptualized, designed and manufactured articulated industrial robot that has been specially developed for nation’s micro, small & medium enterprises.
