OREANDA-NEWS  SUSU engineers presented the first model of a small industrial robot that will help students and employees of manufacturing enterprises to master special programming languages for controlling industrial robots, including foreign ones. This was reported to RIA Novosti by the press service of the university.

After the withdrawal from the Russian market of some foreign manufacturers of industrial robots, domestic engineers faced the task of training specialists of industrial enterprises to work effectively on already implemented foreign automation tools and reprogram them if necessary. Since 2020, employees of the Research and Production Institute "Educational Equipment and Technologies" of the South Ural State University (SUSU) have been developing a model of an industrial robot that can be controlled using several programming languages and is intended primarily for education.

A universal six-axis robot named Robin is controlled using proprietary software, it has the ability to write programs in programming languages of leading brands of industrial robots. The robot has six degrees of mobility, and it is capable of working as a welder, loader or packer, depending on the type of tool.

"Each robot manufacturer has its own programming language. Due to the fact that the robot understands several languages, we can choose to work with the one that we know or want to learn," explained Alexander Klepinin, an engineer at the SUSU Educational Equipment and Technologies Research Institute.

According to him, the robot Robin can be controlled using the KUKA Robot Language, which is used to program German industrial robots that have been present on the Russian market for a very long time. The development also supports programming languages RAPID Robot Language, Mitsubishi and others.
