Abstract(s)
A aplicação crescente da robótica nas mais diversas indústrias encontra- -se relacionada com a evolução tecnológica e a adaptabilidade para a realização de tarefas num espetro diversificado. A robótica, em ambiente académico, conhecida como robótica educacional, revela grandes vantagens como ferramenta de aprendizagem inovadora com o potencial de transformar a educação e apoiar os educandos nos mais diversos contextos de aprendizagem. Na robótica educacional os educandos são incentivados a pôr em prática os seus projetos através de linguagens de programação gráficas ou textuais, enriquecendo as suas capacidades de resolução de problemas. Perspetivando-se um forte crescimento no mercado das inovações tecnológicas associadas à robótica, inteligência artificial e programação, torna-se premente uma aposta na formação de futuros engenheiros nestas temáticas. A finalidade deste projeto foi providenciar o laboratório de robótica do Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica do Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa com novas valências de modelos de contextos de produção industrial através da cooperação entre vários equipamentos com recurso à linguagem de programação Python, promovendo atividades interdisciplinares. O projeto focou-se na implementação de um modelo de um processo automático, em escala reduzida, inspirado na montagem de painéis solares. Para este efeito foram usados dois robôs Dobot Magician e dois eixos lineares, acionados por motores de passo e controlados por um microprocessador Arduino UNO. Para o apoio da produção foram projetadas diversas peças, recorrendo a técnicas de desenho assistido por computador, que posteriormente foram impressas em 3D. Foi desenvolvido um procedimento de verificação de qualidade da produção, recorrendo a visão computacional, para distinguir o destino da peça produzida em função do resultado do teste. Antevê-se que as ações realizadas na integração e controlo dos variados equipamentos, num ambiente de programação em forte crescimento, constituam o ponto de partida para futuros projetos no âmbito da temática desenvolvida.
Abstract The growing use of robotics in the most diverse industries is related to technological evolution and adaptability in the application of solutions that allow tasks to be carried out across a diverse spectrum. Robotics, in an academic environment is known as educational robotics and reveals great benefits as an innovative learning tool with the potential to transform education and support students in the most diverse learning contexts, encouraging them to put their projects into practice through graphical or textual programming languages, allowing the enhancement of problem-solving skills. With the prospect of significant growth in the market for technological innovations associated with robotics, artificial intelligence and programming, there is an urgent need to invest in the training of future engineers in these topics. The purpose of this project was to provide the robotics laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa with new models of industrial production contexts through cooperation between various equipment using the Python programming language, thus promoting interdisciplinary activities. The project focused on implementing a model of an automatic process, on a small-scale, inspired by the assembly of solar panels. For this purpose, two Dobot Magician robots and two linear axes were used, driven by stepper motors and controlled by an Arduino UNO microprocessor. To support production, several parts were designed using computer-aided design techniques, which were later printed in 3D. A production quality verification procedure was developed using computer vision to distinguish the destination of the produced part, depending on the result of the quality test. It is anticipated that the outcomes in the integration and control of the various equipment, in a rapidly growing programming environment, constitute the starting point for future projects within the scope of the studied topic.
