description The user interface or commonly known as human–computer interaction (HCI) has become the focus of most researches as the usage of computers increases in nearly all manufacturing machines. The design parameters of HCI include hardware and software related parameters. Virtual Environment (VE) can be employed to interpret these interactions; however it is challenging to integrate VE-assisted simulation tools because the hazard of touching the machine and the difficulty of monitoring are among the most prominent problems in intelligent industries. Many accidents have been associated with robot manipulator operations, where the total number of fatalities in the United States was 4,585 and over 1,300 workers were injured in 2013, because of hardware and software complexity or the insufficient knowledge and skills of technicians in operating and monitoring the equipment. The accurate control of motion axes is a fundamental concern in intelligent industries, in which an exact end-effector trajectory is required at the correct time. It is also essential for efficient system operation and to predict the position and time error of the trajectory.
