Okan Is Talking

     Last night I read an article about soft robotics at the IEEE Spectrum magazine . This article was publish  by Cecilia Laschi  at March, 2017 which name is "A robot octopus points the way to soft robotics". Then I found the related article from the internet.(You can access from this link ). The article was simply related with soft robotic project and outcomes of this project.  " As a professor at the BioRobotics Institute at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, in Pisa, Italy, I lead a team investigating soft robotics. This relatively new field of research has the potential to upend our ideas about what robots are capable of and where they can be useful. I chose to build robots that mimic the form of the octopus for two reasons. First, because they’re well suited to demonstrate the many advantages that come when a machine can flex and squish as needed. Also, it’s an excellent engineering challenge: An octopus with eight wiggly arms, which must work together ...

After a few questions about offline simulation platform of Yaskawa Motoman Robotics which is called MotoSimVRC, I decided to write a quick post to collect the answers. So I listed the questions below and tried to explain briefly.  How to get  MotoSimVRC? You can find the latest version(and older versions, too) of the  MotoSimVRC from this link . Important note: You have to register this site with your company e-mail only. After applying for being a member to website, you need to have at least two days for verification(it was like that when I have done). In addition to that, this membership has 2 years duration. After two years, your membership is expired. Fig : After Login After login you can access the download link from Download Area -> Application Software. Is this software licensed? Simply yes. This software is licensed by Yaskawa. But they offer a demo mode which can used only for 90 days and it is not intended for productional usage. All software packages ar...

    Another important topic in the Movicon 11.6 SCADA that I consider is "How To Add Multi Language?". Movicon 11 SCADA provides very simple use of multi language( and useful too). I am going to make an example project that will consist of three language choices(English-EN, Italian-IT, Turkish-TR). I strongly recommend to use "String Table". It gains you to manage texts in many parts of project easily, in besides that the project make multi language. If you want to change the name of an object in the project, you can easily change from string table. If we look at the "multi language" in the another way, you can find the multi language concept(and for more information) in the NB Panel.( NB Panel: How To Make A Project Multi Language? ) Some significant properties of the Movicon 11 multi language can be listed below; Editor available in 7 different languages Project language switching via easy to use strings Switch between languages in Edit & Run-time   ...

    I would like mention about movement principle of robots and some important motion types. So let's start with the Movement Principle of industrial robots. Movement Principle      Industrial robots aim to go from one point to the specific position which can be named as " pose to pose movement ". It means clearly " move from the current position to the new position ". All story starts with this motion concept. Besides that, robots make some special tasks using industrial equipments(we can call them as tool in some states) such as material handling, palletizing/depalletizing, painting, arc welding/spot welding on the specified path. Robot programming includes some special robot movement commands and when moving on the path robot run special commands to control the environment such as PLC, sensors, actuators and valves. Path can be explained as " The continuous locus of positions(or points in three dimensional space) traversed by the tool center point and d...

    This post will be related to how to make a project polyglot(multi language). Multi Language selection may be very feasible when teaching machine/production line to operators with their mother tongue and to keep some standarts high(multi langauage may gain prestige to your project.). In NB Panel, this is very easy to gain multi language selection to the project. I will mention the steps with images. 

          Before starting Movicon 11, I would like mention "What Is SCADA", "Industrial Usage Of SCADA" and "Progea & Movicon 11" respectively.
