Robot offset simulation method and apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor;
• wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a robot offset simulation method that comprises:
• establishing a reference path for a virtual robot in simulation software, wherein the reference path is a path along which the virtual robot moves from a preset starting point, to transfer a reference object to a destination location, and then returns to the preset starting point;
• receiving location information of a target object from a programmable logic controller (PLC);
• determining an offset based on the location information of the target object, wherein the offset is a location offset of the target object relative to the reference object;
• and
• based on the reference path and the offset, controlling the virtual robot to move from the preset starting point to the target object, and transfer the target object to the destination location:
• wherein the location information of the target object comprises a layer number a row number, and a column number of the target object;
• and determining the offset based on the location information of the target object comprises:
• determining a row spacing and a column spacing between adjacent objects on a virtual pallet, and determining a layer spacing between adjacent stacked virtual pallets;
• and
• determining the offset based on the layer number, the row number, the column number of the target object, the row spacing and the column spacing between adjacent objects, and the layer spacing between adjacent stacked virtual pallets:
• wherein based on the reference path and the offset, controlling the virtual robot to move from the preset starting point to the target object, and transfer the target object to the destination location comprises:
• controlling, based on the reference path, the virtual robot to move toward a location of the reference object;
• and
• when the virtual robot is moving toward the location of the reference object, controlling the virtual robot to shift to a location of the target object based on the offset.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements a robot offset simulation method that comprises:

• establishing a reference path for a virtual robot in simulation software, wherein the reference path is a path along which the virtual robot moves to from a preset starting point, to transfer a reference object to a destination location, and then returns to the preset starting point;
• receiving location information of a target object from a programmable logic controller (PLC);
• determining an offset based on the location information of the target object, wherein the offset is a location offset of the target object relative to the reference object;
• and
• based on the reference path and the offset, controlling the virtual robot to move from the preset starting point to the target object, and transfer the target object to the destination location:
• wherein the location information of the target object comprises a layer number, a row number, and a column number of the target object;
• and determining the offset based on the location information of the target object comprises:
• determining a row spacing and a column spacing between adjacent objects on a virtual pallet, and determining a layer spacing between adjacent stacked virtual pallets;
• and
• determining the offset based on the layer number the row number the column number of the target object, the row spacing and the column spacing between adjacent objects, and the layer spacing between adjacent stacked virtual pallets:
• wherein based on the reference path and the offset, controlling the virtual robot to move from the preset starting point to the target object, and transfer the target object to the destination location comprises:
• controlling, based on the reference path, the virtual robot to move toward a location of the reference object;
• and
• when the virtual robot is moving toward the location of the reference object controlling the virtual robot to shift to a location of the target object based on the offset.
