Method, system and apparatus for flexible component routing design

A system for flexible component routing design, the system comprising:

• a bench;
• a first robot arranged on the bench and connected to a second end of the flexible component;
• a second robot arranged on the bench and provided with a scanning device;
• a bracket arranged on the bench and connected to a first end of the flexible component;
• and
• a computer connected to one or more of the first robot, second robot, and bracket, respectively, and including a processor and a memory, the memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• moving the second end relative to the first end to simulate an operational motion state of the flexible component;
• scanning the flexible component to obtain a first set of routing data for the flexible component;
• changing position of the second end from a first position to a second position;
• moving the second end relative to the first end to simulate an operational motion state of the flexible component;
• scanning the flexible component to obtain a second set of routing data for the flexible component;
• and
• comparing the first set of routing data with the second set of routing data to determine a routing design for the flexible component.
