Development of a Virtual Simulation System for Industrial Robot Kinematics Based on Unity 3D

Abstract

With the rapid expansion of industrial robotics driven by the "Made in China 2025" initiative, there is an urgent demand for innovative and cost-effective training methods to address the significant talent gap in related industries. This study presents the design and implementation of a virtual simulation system for industrial robot motion, using the ABB IRB 120 robot and the Unity 3D engine. The proposed system replicates real robot kinematics with high accuracy while offering cost-effective and reusable training solutions. Experimental tests demonstrate that the platform supports both forward and inverse kinematics with efficient and user-friendly operation. The system is valuable for enhancing human-robot interaction and operator training across industrial settings.
