Abstract
A method for robotic assembly includes: receiving product data including product structure data and/or product geometry data of a product with a base component and at least one assembly part to be assembled; analyzing the product data to determine robot functions relating to functions of a robot for assembly of the product as determined robot functions; generating a robot program including assembly instructions dependent on the determined robot functions and the product data; and executing the generated robot program so as to identify and/or localize the at least one assembly part and assemble the product.
Claims15
A method for robotic assembly, comprising:
- receiving product data comprising product structure data and product geometry data of a product with a base component and at least one assembly part to be assembled;
- analyzing the product data to determine robot functions relating to functions of a robot for assembly of the product as determined robot functions;
- generating a robot program comprising assembly instructions dependent on the determined robot functions and the product data;
- and
- executing the generated robot program so as to identify and/or localize the at least one assembly part and assemble the product.
A system for robotic assembly, comprising:
- a database comprising product data comprising product structure data and product geometry data of a product with a base component and at least one assembly part to be assembled;
- a control unit configured to analyze the product data so as to determine robot functions relating to functions of a robot for assembly of the product as determined robot functions and to generate a robot program comprising assembly instructions dependent on the determined robot functions and the product data as a generated robot program;
- and
- a robot system comprising a robot controller configured to execute the generated robot program so as to identify and localize the at least one assembly part and to assemble the product.
