Collision Detection of Industrial Automation

At present, most anti-collision mechanisms use graphics processing unit (GPU) for operations and object simulations are drawn using polygonal meshes. However, their costs are always very high. Therefore, we propose a novel approach to improve the anti-collision mechanism for robotic arms. We apply the octree algorithm to decompose the object model and cooperate with the Bounding Box technology to form the object into a covering box. In this manner, the computation space will be reduced and simplify the calculation of the anti-collision. Finally, the proposed work has been implemented on Rhino to construct a simulation system for industrial manufacturing production lines.
