Frequently, a robot is consisted of links, joints, sensors, actuators, controller, and other structural elements which are integrated to form a whole system. It provides a modeling and evaluation tool for complex systems that are analytically difficult to deal with. As developing a real collaborative robot is still expensive and time-consuming, while accessing commercial collaborative robots is relatively limited thus, the development of robot simulation can be an option for collaborative robotic research and education purposes.Ĭomputer simulation has become an important tool in robotic research and development. Due to the challenging problems which related to humanoid robots for collaborative robots and behavior in human-robot collaboration, the use of robot simulation may open the opportunities in collaborative robotic research in the context of industry 4.0. The author surveys on the use of dynamic simulations in application of collaborative robots toward industry 4.0. The robot simulation presented here is based on open dynamic engine (ODE) using anyKode Marilou. Then, we present how the collaborative robot utilization in the industry can be achieved through computer simulation by means of virtual robots in simulated environments. The author emphasizes the application of collaborative robots in regard to industry revolution 4.0. We begin by discussing the robot utilization in the industry which includes mobile robots, arm robots, and humanoid robots. The essential role of robot simulation for industrial robots, in particular the collaborative robots is presented in this chapter.
