Integrating 3Ds Max with Robot Technology: A Case Study on the Robot Palletizer System

This paper explores the integration of 3Ds Max, a powerful 3D modelling and animation software with robot technology using a robot palletizer system as a reference framework. The main problem addressed is the lack of effective methods to evaluate robotic systems' functionality and enable optimization before robot physical installation. To overcome this challenge, 3D Max simulations are proposed to enable virtual prototyping thus providing comprehensive evaluations of the performance of robotic systems. The research has developed a robot palletizer system simulation that can serve as a training platform for engineers and clients, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the robot's operation in a safe and controlled setting. The paper contributes to the field of robotics by demonstrating the effectiveness of 3Ds Max simulation for enhanced performance, efficiency, and safety in robotic systems. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of further research on leveraging simulation and virtual environments within the context of Industry 4.0 and 5.0.
