Simulation of a work cell in the IGRIP program

Abstract: Nowadays, robots are extremely important instruments in factories that it
is unusual to find a business without any robot. Robots can perform
complicated and dangerous tasks, and currently most production companies
use them. On the other hand, we need to know if it is possible and
effective to set a robot into the production line. Furthermore, we have
some tools to understand its behaviour and the advantages we can get.

A very common cheap tool is simulation. Simulation is a good tool for
engineers to build virtual spaces, check information about robots and
discuss about the best position and the best work the robot can do. This
way, it is not necessary to stop the production and it is possible to try
different ways to get the most efficacious and efficient solution so as to
save money and time.

This thesis discusses how robotic simulation answers these questions. So,
the thesis involves the use of IGRIP program. Firstly, we will build the
work cell and then we will try to answer if it is feasible, and even if it
is a good economic solution.
