САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

This paper presents a simulation of a chess game with an industrial robot designed for educational purposes, focusing on the integration of automation in various industries. By using the FANUC ER-4iA robot in a FANUC educational cell, we explore the robot’s ability to perform precise and complex movements that are important for the chess game. The simulation is carried out using the ROBOGUIDE software, which enables detailed programming and visualization of the robot’s movements. The process includes configuring the coordinate system, defining the robot’s gripper parameters and programming the robot to precisely manipulate the chess pieces on a virtual chessboard. The results show that the robot performs the set tasks efficiently and demonstrates its educational potential in teaching robotics concepts and programming skills. Although the simulated application showed high precision in motion execution, certain limitations were noted in automation has become a key factor in increasing efficiency and productivity in various industries. Industrial robots have established themselves as indispensable tools in this process, enabling the automation of complex and repetitive tasks with a high degree of precision and reliability. This paper explores the application of industrial robots for educational purposes terms of the robot’s reach and carrying capacity.
