According to the schedule of the meeting, the project leader, Associate Professor Tao Yong of Beihang University, made an overall report on the mid-term progress of the project. The project has developed PQArt software, an integrated development platform for industrial robot process applications with completely independent intellectual property rights, and put forward the concept of "Process as a Service", which realizes the functions of typical process coverage, multi-brand robot compatibility, process simulation planning and optimization, and high concurrent operation. The research on seven typical processing technologies of robot welding, spraying, grinding, polishing, assembly, drilling and riveting, and carbon fiber paving was carried out, and the process models of industrial robot welding tracking control, force control grinding and polishing, spraying and deposition were established, and relevant data were collected. The overall scheme design of the intelligent recommendation module, quality prediction module and process optimization module of typical process parameters has been completed. It has built a typical process integration workstation for 8 scenarios such as welding, drilling and riveting, grinding and polishing, and completed the application demonstration in 4 high-end fields of aerospace, aviation, new energy and new infrastructure.
