Abstract
A robot application development system and method includes a robot application unit that determines a robot application, which defines the industrial robot in a robot workspace. An input interface receives robot application information. An object data interface receives work piece information. A gripper finger design unit determines a gripper finger design. The robot application unit determines the robot application using the robot application information. The gripper finger design unit determines the gripper finger design using the work piece information and the robot application information.
Claims19
A robot application development system, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- determine a robot application for an industrial robot processing a work piece, wherein the robot application defines the industrial robot in a robot workspace;
- receive, by an input interface, robot application information characterizing the robot application;
- receive, by an object data interface, work piece information characterizing the work piece;
- and
- determine a gripper finger design of a gripper finger of the industrial robot,
- wherein the controller is configured to determine the robot application using the robot application information,
- wherein the controller is configured to determine the gripper finger design using the work piece information and the robot application information, and
- wherein the controller is configured to automatically determine a default gripper finger design using the work piece information and the robot application information.
A computer implemented method for robot application development containing computer-executable instructions stored in tangible media that, when executed by a computer, cause the following to be executed:
- receiving robot application information characterizing the robot application;
- receiving work piece information characterizing a work piece;
- determining a robot application for an industrial robot processing the work piece, wherein the robot application defines the industrial robot in a robot workspace;
- determining a gripper finger design of a gripper finger of the industrial robot,
- wherein the robot application is determined using the robot application information,
- wherein the gripper finger design is determined using the work piece information and the robot application information, and
- wherein a default gripper finger design is automatically determined using the work piece information and the robot application information.
