The use of computer graphic simulation in the development of robotic systemsThe use of computer graphic simulation techniques to resolve critical design and operational issues for robotic systems is described. Use of this technology will result in greatly improved systems and reduced development costs. The major design issues in developing effective robotic systems are discussed and the use of ROBOSIM, a NASA developed simulation tool, to address these issues is presented. Three representative simulation case studies are reviewed: off-line programming of the robotic welding development cell for the Space Shuttle Main Engine; the integration of a sensor to control the robot used for removing the Thermal Protection System from the Solid Rocket Booster; and the development of a teleoperator/robot mechanism for the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle.
