Abstract: Contemporary virtual reality (VR) technologies, combined with advanced computational tools such as MATLAB, open up new possibilities in the design and control of industrial robots. This article presents a potential control system for Fanuc manipulators, utilizing VR simulation within the Unity environment and the advanced computational tools of the Robotics System Toolbox in MATLAB. This system enables real-time control, as well as planning and visualization of the manipulators’ trajectories, representing a significant step towards remote and intuitive management of industrial robots.
