Application of JAVA3D and VRML in Robot Emulation and Collision Detection

Abstract

Collision detection is an important part of the Emulation System of Robotics. Quick and efficient collision detection is the key factor of a successful emulation system. In this paper,a new method of how to use AutoCAD and VRML to model robots and implement collision detection with JAVA3D is introduced in detail. In order to improve the precision of collision detection, we analyze and adjust the class of collision detection and put forth the means of solving the precision problem. Furthermore, we propose our opinion for fixing the fault of JAVA3D in collision detection.
